she is 21 months old im feeding her hopper rats and temps are 34 hot end and cool end is about 30
 
Have you tried bathing her? this has always worked well for me and actually assist them in shedding. alot of people may disagree with this method but as i said it works well for me as I have bought 2 snakes that apparantly didnt shed correctly within 2 slough perfect. I have tried the shed ease but find a luke warm bath much much more effective. I bath it for 5 mins take it out snd handle it for 3-5 then back in the bath and so until job is done usually around an hour.
 
might be time to bump up the food size maybe
 
well there are no signs of it even looking like it wants to shed. ill try the bath idea tonight see how i go starting to get a bit worried its been to long
IgotFrogs i was thinking it about time to do that.
 
How big is it?? Some of mine are 9 months old 70cm long and eating up to 120 gram rats and they shed every 4-6 weeks. My 2 year old eats 250 gram rats. Prob bump food up.
 
my woma just shed but i think it still has a bit left over its eye ijust tried giving it a bath but he stayed in ther efor like 2 sec with head under water then wanted out of the container how long would they need to be in there for ? he also has a huge water bowl too if he needed to do it himself. would he be ok to fee tonight even if he hasnt shed the bit off
 
Haha I bathed my woma not long ago and it was the funniest thig I have ever seen he made "Eric the eel" look like a pro. Its so funny when half there body just floats upside down and the rest is trying to figure out how to tread water
 
I had my guy in for probs about 10 mins total and it got all the retained shed off and he felt so nice afterwards. My guy does tend to fell pretty dry most of the time so from now on every month he gets swimming lessons
 
i wasnt sure hat to di at first since its my fitst time so i had a container on an angle so it had some dry area and put him on it he went half way out over the water not touching it then he touched it and went for a dive for a few seconds then just tried climbing out. hopefully it was enough to hopefully loosen off the un shed skin, its just one of his eyes looks kind of milky still as if theres some of the shed still on it.
 
yea see this is the first woma iv had and her eyes are not milky her scales have gone light but she has been like that for a month or 2 now
