Fedding issue
 

Ok, ive had this corn for about 3 months, and his eating has never changed, he strikes the mouse, constricts it and consumes it. Saturday though, he struck, held on, and let go, and repeated it from time to time, but never constricted. I'm a bit concerned, but a friend said he might be shedding, and that they tend to be a lil grumpy when doing so. He has what ive dubbed 'snake dandruff' since his scales are more like flaking off than him grinding his way out.

It sounds like he is getting ready to shed. Give him a moist hide if possible... a hide that has some moist moss in it... he can climb in and get as much moisture as necessary to help him to shed his skin. I doubt you'll get him to eat until he has successfully shed.

Since it flaking, it sounds to me like it is already shedding and it is a bad shed. This maybe caused by too little humidityor other health problems. You may also want to consider a warm soak about 85 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 2 hours.

When you says it scales are flaking off, I hope you mean that only the very outer layer of dried skin is flaking off and that the snake is not actually losing scales leaving bare or raw smooth surface.

hey

Yes, i only mean the outer skin that is supposed to be shedding.....ive aso been told that maybe i shud mist him. and what do you mean by soak him? i cant get him to stay still

Place the sanke into up to a few inches (depending on size of the snake) of water at about 85 degrees, in a sealable container. Water should be deep wenough to cover the snake, but shallow enough for it to be able to rest on the bottom of the container and easily hold its head above the water. Close the container and leave it in there for about an hour or two. Of course make sure the container is big enough to have enough air for it, or use a lid with air holes. Once the snake is out, the skin will probably come off readily if it was already in the shed stage at the point where it was flaking off.

Alright Glenn, awesome, I'm sure Meatloaf will make a full 'recovery' XD
Thanks

So does that mean the snake has shed?

well, no, but...the outer layer is not so crinkly, and his eyes are have a layer above them, which im aware means that the shedding is very close, so one more soak should do it
