Jess,

..What everyone else posted is good but yes, stuck sheds can sometimes be caused by parasite problems. After the loss of the breeder male I would definitely get the snake in to the vet.

Good luck,

Jeff



>>Ok, I was worried earlier, but now, I am scared. The mother of Ziggy and Zoe hasn't been eating as well as I had hoped recently, she had been doing well up until about a month ago. Seeing as how she has been having bad sheds, I figured her appetite was failing because of that stress. She still has about two sheds stuck on her, but she won't soak either. She has just been sitting in her moss box, and now this past week she has been looking much skinnier.

>>Today when I pulled her out of her cage she had a definate "smooshed" look. Which scared me. She is lethargic and not very responsive to touch, when she does respond, its a delayed response.

>>Can any of you think of something that might be causing this? I unfortunately can't get a hold of my vet.

>>Any help would be appreciated. Sorry no pictures, my moms computer still won't upload them.
