Since this is my first snake, it's normal to ask a crap ton of questions right? lol



So Oliver was in the beginning stages of shedding when I first got him (just over 2 weeks ago) The eyes got blue, his skin got dull, etc etc. So today when I checked on him, he had peices of skin all over his tank... and he was out and about exploring and climbing all over his tank. His skin has gotten crazy bright and he seems happier. I did keep his tank really moist and even bathed him twice in some reptile shedding stuff, Dunno if it helped or not.



Question one is, is he done shedding? His belly is still a bit pink, and he has some pieces of skin just barely stuck on, I thought the skin came off all together?



Question two is, When should I feed him? He ate like a week and a half ago, a larger mouse, but when should I feed him again? I got another larger mouse and i'm keeping it in a separate container (ew) until he's ready, but I don't wanna keep this stupid thing forever!



Question three is, when should I go ahead and clean out his tank? I don't want to stress him out by messing with his hang out, but there's skin everywhere! It's kinda gross lookin!



Thanks so much!!!

Teri
