hatchie problems shedding

[sasquo123]

Can someone pls help me with a query

ive bred 8 gorgeous little spotted pythons this year, theyre all doing really well and have all fully

shed apart from one whos shed from the head but retained the rest, ive been misting the cage

and its only been a couple of days but is it ok to soak it? im just worried with it being so small

and fragile, should i wait and see or soak in a small amount of warm water for 10mins?

this is my first attempt at breeding and its so hard cos i want to keep them all!!!

my other question (sorry) is when would you advise feeding? wait until theyve all shed

and feed all at the same time or start feeding now? the first baby shed about a week ago

thanks heaps guys

feed a day after they have sheed

with the little one keep doing as you are misting and if he hasnt gotten it off in 5 hour max give him a soak,

how long has it been trying to shed for , did u say a couple of days?
if so then id be soaking it for a few mins then get a damp cloth and leting the snake worm through your fingers in/on the damp cloth .
as for feeding , try them - there is no real harm to be done when feeding before they shed . some snake will take food some wont , all of mine do .

you'll definitely have to soak it. The hatchy could also be dehydrated. Was its tub any warmer or drier than its siblings?

no all the tubs are same temps, all on heat cord used in conj with dimming thermostat, theyre all in

click clacks with water bowl and hide, ive been misting them but its been 3 days now and no

difference, i just wanted to check it was ok to soak them incase they were more succeptible to

resp problems or had low immune systems being so young, but if you guys think ok, will soak for

few mins and see how goes

wrt fedding have tried them all tonight on pinkies but only one ate, will see how they go in a few

days or ill go catch some skinks to scent them with
