Is Tiggie ready to shed?

[Adrienne]

Hi all, :shrugs: just wondering if Tiggie could be getting ready to shed. We tried to feed her on Thursday but she refused, we have only had her for a week so I was not surprised at that.
I have just noticed she has gone dull on her underside and her head has gone a milky colour but her eyes are still brown.
I was going to try her with some food tomorrow but I’m not sure weather I should now if she may be shedding :shrugs:

I would go ahead and offer supper, because the worst that could happen is that the snake refuses. Some snakes eat when they're about to shed, and some don't. If she does refuse to eat again, just wait until she's shed and then offer again. It shouldn't hurt her to wait a while longer.

Sounds like she may be getting ready to shed to me! Keep an eye on her eyes...if they start getting blue and hazy, that's a definite yes.

I agree with Flygning...can't hurt to offer food!

Thank you for your help and advice, I will try to feed again tonight. If she refuses again should I leave it till after her shed before I try again?

If she refuses again then I would leave her alone until after she sheds. If you have only just got her then she will be upset at the new surroundings and shedding is a vulnerable time for them anyway. Give her some peace, let her shed and offer her food the day after she sheds,
Best Wishes, skye
