This is the weirdest thing. Any input appreciated.



My snake was ready to shed - skin was coming off any day. I come into the room the other morning and she's laying there with her skin backwards. I touched her a few times and got no response. Thought she died.



By skin backwards, the only explanation I have is that she shed, but then crawled back inside the skin backwards. Her head was inside the skin near where the tip of the tail was. She was 95% inside the old skin. (!)



And she wasn't moving. Limp and lifeless. Picked it up and put it down - nothing. No movement for hours while I waited for the guy I got her from to come over to see the spectacle. Then finally we thought we saw her head move a little.



Took her to the vet, and he thought sure she was dead and was baffled by the skin. He started pulling it off and she woke up and startled us all.



Now she's moving around like nothing happened. We all thought she was dead. Any ideas on what happened here?



Thanks
