tri color hognose shedding too much?

sherylk665 Mar 08, 2010 06:57 PM

we just got a tri color hognose from a repticon show. It is a female and about 2 yrs. old. We have had her 6 weeks , she has not eaten, and is on her 3rd shed. We suspect she is a wild caught hognose. Can we get help here?

Wow, third shed in three weeks. Snakes often shed more when ill or physically damaged; however that doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. Check for snake mites in the water, and do what you can to minimize the stress on your snake in it's new home.
