I had bought her at a reptile show as a day old hatchling. She was tiny enough that apparently her egg tooth was still in place as she kept sticking out her tongue and getting it stuck out. Lets just say I have never seen a dopier looking bp than her slithering around like that. She shed right on schedule, two weeks after I got her. I was told unless she starts looking lethargic and she ends up with folds of skin, not to worry about the eating. I had one panicky moment where I watched her reach up the side up her tank, something she does all the time, and slowely fall over. She seemed to have trouble righting herself. I had contacted the breeder lsat week and he said 3 of her 5 litter mates were not eating either and to have patience, that I was probably stressing her out by offering her food too often. As to flat out how long is too long, I'm hoping someone with more experience will jump in to answer that one. Good luck again!!!!
