Not sure if this is normal or not so need some opinions.
My spotted python is coming on 26 months old. She's just hit roughly 1m long if not more. She's never ate regularly, she's never shed regularly and lately she's been going through some really strange mood swings. I know that sounds bizarre but hear me out.. For a couple of days she's all lovey and greets me at the glass with a nuzzle to my face and wants all my attention. Then 2 weeks back we had a mishap and she bit me. I tried to calmly wait until she let go but she started constricting me and I had to gently pry her off because it was really painful and I panicked a bit!. I didn't touch her for like 3 days after that because she was skittish. Anyway went back to normal but she has all of a sudden become jumpy and she doesn't greet me, she doesn't want to be touched. I fed her on Monday last week and then Wednesday she went blue and has been since. She didn't move off her log for 5 days. Today I finally just couldn't take it anymore and got her out and she started to push her face against me like she was itchy and trying to shed so I soaked her for 20 minutes and then she just went back to her log. I don't know what else to do? Is she having trouble shedding? How do I help her?
sorry for the life story!
