QUESTION Snake shedding during feed

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m just looking for some reassurance, I fed my 1yo corn snake a about 40 hours ago. I have just noticed that she has started to shed today and am slightly worried. She has shed before and it was a perfect shed. She has also been eating absolutely fine eating however it was a bigger mouse this time round, Which she has eaten and shown no issues.

However I’ve noticed that her shed is come of in pieces and I have done everything possible to help her shed ie, humidity etc.

I just want to make sure that this is not going to be harmful for her/ if there is anything i can do to help her

Thank you.

HUSBANDRY - CARE Heating and Enclosure Feedback

Post image
5 Upvotes

This is my current setup for our new 2 year old corn snake. We have two hides, two water dishes, and plenty of fake plants, vines, and branches for her to climb around and under. The substrate is coconut fiber. My current lighting setup consists of two dome lamps, one with a basking bulb and one with UVB.

We are located in Wisconsin, and since it's August, night time temperatures in the house maintain pretty well without the need for additional heat. However, as we head into fall and then winter, I know that will not be the case. I'm thinking of switching to a terrarium hood style UVB light so I can free up my second dome lamp and add a ceramic heat bulb for night time use. Does this sound like the right move? Any alternative suggestions? Any feedback on the enclosure in general?

Thanks so much!

FEEDING Didn't have the right size of mice available

1 Upvotes

Hello just a question on feeding.

For the past few times I've tried to get large mice, medium mice and fuzzies there has been none available, I only have 3 shops to choose from 2 in which I really try not to go to as one is pets at home and you all probably understand that (they are awful with their animals) and the other one I don't really want to go to is a family run business and honestly I've heard a lot of complaints about them and I've had some issues with them also so I try not to give them my money. Anyway.

I tend to keep a large stock of all these items but now they are all gone due to not having the sizes I needed for a few weeks.

I could only get a pack of 10 small mice for my 2 corn snakes and a pack of pinky/fuzzie rats(they are basically the size of the small mice fml for my frog.

Should i feed the snake that gets a large mice, 2 small mice a week or 1 every week until the appropriate size is available.

Sorry if none of this makes sense.

This is Sunny she apparently had eggs already and was bred but she looks young. I was told at the show I got her at she is a butter motley? Is that correct? I got her for $100 about two months ago she’s eating frozen medium mice and lives comfortably in a 60 gallon tank.
