I bought an albino boa a month ago or so. This snake just hates to be handled. I fugured the two first weeks it was just getting used to its new habitat. Still after holding if every day for the past month he just wriggles uncontrolably. Also i seen the skin going through the "blue" period 2 weeks ago. He has still not shed tho and his skin is full of wrinkles and tears.

Should I be concerned. I have tried soaking and misting to no avail.

How long should I wait before becoming worried? and can a boa completly skip a shed?
