HELP feeding (and shedding)

sykk Mar 31, 2005 05:22 PM

Our one year old took a hopper, unfortunately (s)he didn't finish... The mouse is still in it's throat after one day...

The catch is that (s)he has an incomplete shed that I didn't notice at the place where it 'stalled'...

(S)he laying out with his head up... Should I go in and pull the shedding skin off because it's there or... HELP!!!

If it's the unshed skin that's keeping the food from going down then remove it. At least break through it at a point where it will allow the snakes throat to expand enough to finish swallowing the rat. Hope this helps.
