Hi guys thank you for your responses!
I know, I am feeling a little cheated out of my money. I paid $150 for this beautiful girl to come home and notice her tail. I know I should have looked at her tail to begin with as thats a problem area for these guys but she was active in the store and the rest of her body was nice and healthy. I was a bit thrown off too at the store since I came there searching for a smaller corn (mom n pop pet store) but this what they had. I was also a bit thrown off from the start when I asked if I could view the cornsnake and she said to me "well, are you looking to purchase one?" Idk came off a bit rude to me.
I have since given her a 30 min soak with some shed aid and some shed did come off but I mean a very minimal amount. I also noticed she is actually missing one of her scales at the end of her tail. Im hoping with her next shed I can give her some good soaks and try to help her get it off. As far as mites go, I have looked at some photos and it does not appear she has any. She just has some brown shed that doesn't look infected to me, but I also haven't kept snakes long enough to know at this point, which is why im here! And I was thinking stuck shed from my beardies do not look like this and are not rough to the touch..Im thinking whoever had her did not bathe her or provide humidity at proper levels and this is a couple sheds deep if thats even possible.
When I first got her she would come out at night and explore her tank but ever since I gave her a bath and tried to feed she hasn't come out. I also tried to feed her on her feeding for the first time and she rattled at it and striked but never actually ate it. I tried again a day later after her bath and she striked but still acted uninterested after. Both mice were thawed completely. Please let me know if you guys have any suggestions. Ive read it could possibly be the time of year? but they told me she had eaten the week before so...
I have called the store about the shed and they said they dont take returns but I can bring her in and get some shed aid from them
.. another thing I should have looked into, but I felt it was common for pet stores. She said they only do donations! gosh I really hope this shed gives up and she eats soon...
