cleo not shedding

hi just a bit of imformation please my corn snake went dull about 2 week,s ago she has gone like this before when she was ready too shed she has now gone back too her normal coloure but still not shed the shop said too put her in a tub with moss too help her skin come off just want too know b4 i do is it ok too do this she has refused her food since going dull the 1st time so she has not ate now for over 2 weeks would she be ok ?
any help is most gratefull

The shop has advised tubbing as she needs humidity to help her shed. I'd give her a warm bath and then either tub her with sphagnum moss in or use damp kitchen paper in her hide. You could also spray her daily too as that will help. Can I ask where is her water bowl in relation to the heat source in her viv and what are you using as a substrate?

her water bowl is in the cold end is that right ?
and her bedding is like a fine wood shaveing from the shop it came with her full set up
ive tried bathing her and she just climbs out lol
would her water bowl be best in the warm end for a bit of mist ?

hi there. i have 2 cornsnakes and this happend to me last winter. didnt shed out for over a month. since then ive been using vitamin supplement in their water and have not had a problem. p.s it sounds like your doing everything right. i lightly mist my corns flex every 2 days.

ok thanks alot for your help ive just been having look and she is going round her viv and sort of like rubbing against stuff looks like a little is peeling so hopefully she well shed tonight plus ive been putting a bit of nutrobal vitamins on her food not all the time is that ok i thought i had read everything up on snakes but guess not
thats why i prefer too ask too make sure i get stuff right for her

i use the vitamin drops like REPTASOL or BSP, it just helps with the shedding. i mainly use nutrobal dust for my insectivor lizards. its not bad for snakes the just dont need it because they get their calcium and iron from the rodents that they eat. plus cornsnakes are pretty tough and can cope with quite a lot of lifes troubles.

ok thanks alot for your help i'll go get some of that reptasol hopefully help her shed if she does not do it tonight would love too see her shed but knowing my luck i'll fall asleep and miss it lol she is such a pleasent snake kids love her too bits too

i often wait to watch mine shed. but usually miss it because they do it in the middle of the night. i've owned my mangrove snake for 4months now and i still havent seen it eat.

Don't be too keen to over do it on vitamins and spend too much on reptile shedding products. You can over dose on vitamins and calcium, how often and how much do you use? As for shedding products well most often they are just a gimick to spend more money when infact if the husbandry is correct they are not necessary.

i make 2ltr bottle of water with 4 drops in, leave it 24 hrs then give it to them that bottle lasts 4 days, or there abouts depending on wether they have knocked their dish over lol . thats the only vits they get.

hi thanks for all the imformation at last she shed last night came off in 1 long bit and just little bits around her viv got all the bits out i always make sure they are all off near her eye's as been told need too check there after shed hope its right lol

Great news, glad everything turned out ok.

brillint thats good to hear
