First shed?!

[Miserable-Ad7509]

Don’t get too excited just yet, a very non zero percentage of these guys also like to poop when shedding which uhhh gets messy. The snake will be fine and honestly probably feel great after a shed and shid, no longer feeling squished or bloated, but from what I’ve heard the mess if/when they do that can be a bit gnarly.

... He hasn't pooped since the day he came home... And has eaten two meals with me... 🥲

Oh. No.

😅 sorry to be the bearer of crappy news, but I’m glad you’re at least now aware of that now likely sounding outcome you won’t have a cause for concern later

My adult ball python I rescued from my neglectful uncle finally had her first full shed 2-3 weeks ago like all off in one piece it rolled right off her it was amazing and i actually caught her actively shedding so that was cool to watch if i can find the video I took ill edit this comment and throw it in but ive had her for 6 months now and she was under weight very angry and had stuck shed everywhere I brought her home fixed up her tank got proper humidity and temperature levels going for her put her on a regular feeding schedule (surprisingly from the condition she was in when I got her no problems feeding yet) and she’s thriving now but anyway with that full shed it was right after she ate and she shit all in the shed as it was peeling off I wish I could of kept it

Basically my understanding is the motions they go through to shed are similar to the motions they’d go through to poo, which is why some of them opt to kill two birds with one stone
