Why my conda has quit shedding and her skin looks highly wrinkled or loose?

Physignathus Dec 08, 2004 07:36 PM

Ok, she has not shed since 9-17-04. From that time till now she has went into shed mode twice(blue eyes and dull appearance) but has yet to shed. On 10-28-04 her eyes blued up but no shed then 12-04-04 her eyes blued up again but still no shed. I've been feeding her every 5-7 days except when she goes into shed mode to give her time to shed. Her last shed on 9-17-04 her eyes went blue on the 12th, so about every 5-8 days. Also the 9-17-04 shed was her 2nd shed since I got her back on 7-9-04. I'm doing everything to keep the humidity up: garbage bags over the screen top, spraying the cage down, using warm water in her waterbowl and moss cup. Temps range from the low 80s(below the light) to the low 70s on either end of the tank. I have a heating pad on the back of the tank and one under the tank. Night temps are about low to mid 60s but is warmer where the heating pads are, about 70-72 degrees. Do I need to soak her in water? how warm should the water be? Or is it something entirely different? I feel like I'm either not doing something correctly or not doing it at all. I have not changed or altered my routine of husbandry, feeding, handling. Please any help SOON would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Steven
