I'm thinking... (about the shedding) and I dunno if Rory is due for a shed, but I'm gonna vote for shedding based on a semi related story:
Justin has a baby thayeri king (sydney) that's sweet as can be. A day or so after we got into out new apartment in Miami from NJ, she wasn't coming out of her hide rock and was very agitated to have any visitors. Justin says she attempted to strike at him. He kept saying it was too cold in the car, she's sick, she's gonna die... and i told him the collareds do the same thing when they're about to shed. They hide, dont wanna be bothered, etc... and i reminded him that unlike the collareds, the snakes shed over their eyes so it gets really hard for them to see, which explains the attempted strike. He wasn't buying it.
And ya know... the very next night I hear "hey tiff check it out, she's shedding..."
ANYway- Roz decided to be nocturnal for a few weeks and I thought I did someting wrong, but she's pretty much normal now, no real reason for her behavior. Go figure. Animals do WEIRD things, ha!
