*Bumpety Bump Bump*

(I had just one "bump" but it was too short a message)

I guess I'm on my own to figure this one out? All right... (yes I did go in the search engine as well)

There is a stickie on this forum about dealing with bad or incomplete sheds.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I've been looking for a few days & it didn't matter what I typed in, that thread never popped up. Now let's hope I do it right & Martha cooperates. *crosses fingers*

Woohoo, last AB jab was tonight, we were both getting pretty good at it.

Gave her a nice 20 min soak & we didn't get a shed. The underside of her tail is looking dark IMO. She did drink a lot, which is good & we finally had a poop! And of course who has to pick it up to put in the poop jar? Mom (moi) of course! *rolls eyes We need 2 more poops...

... uhm... how often do 1yr old snakes poop? Last time she ate was 3 weeks ago. And we've offered her food twice since the "accident" & she just refuses it.

There was an odd behaviour (well for us anyways), at one point she was rubbing the underside of her throat area, side to side, on my son's arm & she was widening her cheek area. I thought maybe she was trying to get a shed going but we've never witnessed a shed. (Feeding yes but not shed) We were hoping she'd do the same thing on fabric instead of a bare arm but nope. So we put her in a different tank (our veiled chameleon's old tank. Same dimensions just twice the height.) since our darling (NOT) cat decided to jump on the tank & somehow knocked it over but we brought down the table it used to be on when she was in my son's room. I hope the height is ok until I can either get another tank or build one? I wouldn't want Martha to get hurt trying to climb the slippery walls.

Our corn is in a 75 gal tank that is approx 2ft. tall and she climbs right upto to the screen, but never seems to be a problem. She fell down once but just kept on movin'. I dont think the height is an issue

(Were still waiting for a 1st shed too)

It still makes me nervous when I see her go up & then "thud!" she just plops down.

If anyone is still following this thread: How often can you give them a soak? Martha's dead skin still hasn't come off despite last night's soak & light rub (she still doesn't like getting her tail touched) & I'm starting to worry. I'll try & take a photo.

Updates in a while please! It's a real shame it happened, but I hope things are going to get better.
