need advice for gtp that wont shed

jason1200 Jun 19, 2003 02:29 PM

hello,
I've had my 2.5 yr. female gtp for 7 months now. She has shed for me every 43 or 44 days like clockwork. Its now
been 55 days since last shed. I've been keeping humidity high.She's hasnt been very active at night for 10 days or so,
normal behavior before a shed, but not for 10 days. I fed her
5 days ago, thinking it couldnt hurt. Should i wait a few more days or put her in a 3 gal. tub with wet towel?
Thanks!

Did she go through a shed cycle or are you just guessing she should be shedding?

A very good question. Chondros are harder to tell when going through a shed cycle than some other snakes. As long as the humidity is where it should be, I would not worry too much.

She shed last night. She started going through a shed cycle like 2 weeks ago. I gues she was just late and i was overly
worried. Thanks for the replies!
