Olympus C-5500 Hypomelanistic bullsnake

Figures - the little wench retained a shed (or two) AGAIN. Its been a regular occurrence with her - and only her - for the past 6-7 months...no matter what I do. I took her picture anyway - you can even see the retained skin (or at least I could before I shrunk them down) - but didn't worry too much about shadows. I'll take new ones after I peel off the extra layers.
That crinkled skin at her neck is a dead giveaway, but look at the closeups of her face...it's pretty obvious.

It was, as pretty much expected, 2 sheds. Her neck doesn't crinkle up like that if I catch it with the first one. Unfortunately, she doesn't really give a whole lot of indication pre-shed (I rarely see her eyes opaque, and she doesn't refuse meals)...then once she retains one, something seems to trigger another right on its tail. Its kind of frustrating, because it doesn't matter what I do...even if I see it coming. I have had other snakes that did this for a prolonged period, but they all outgrew it. Hope she does, soon.
On a happy note, after dumping over a liter of water in her box & letting her sit for 2 days, I managed to get it off in mostly one piece. It tore as it passed over her vent.
Food tonite, new pics soon!
