    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    UPDATE: I went to feed Casper and found that He/She shed!
    I think if I understand right that it's a good and normal thing to happen.
    I suppose it is because of growth process?
    Also I started feeding the smaller pieces of worm and you were right it is more enjoyable to watch
    When I took the photo of the skin all of a sudden Casper (the ham) came quickly over to the skin for the photo op
    Seriously likes photos taken. Has a very funny personality, very enjoyable
    Well, I tried to take a photo of the underside and Casper protested so these are the best I could get so far so I don't know if they
    are good enough to tell the sex. Part of the skin was still on the tail too that had not come off yet but is off today but after I fed tonight
    I didn't want to upset by trying to take photos like that again. I'm off work tomorrow so if Casper allows I will take underbelly photos again now that
    the rest of the skin is off the tail.IMG_1577.jpgIMG_1511.jpgIMG_1513.jpgIMG_1518.jpg

    Is it better to be a male or female?

    Welcome from a gale force Liverpool

    females enjoy the reputation of being the most easygoing, least nervous, most person interactive of the two , the complete opposite of us humans

    Males are good too. I have a baby NW male. NWs are very sweet by nature so either boy or girl you will have a great little friend there.

    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    If Casper had trouble getting the shed off you may want to check your cage humidity or next time you can try a shed box. It's always important to make sure they get the whole shed off. Things to check for are to look at the head part of the shed and make sure you see both eye caps and the tail to make sure the whole tip came off. Some helpful threads are:

    Re: I found an Albino Garden Snake

    That's great news that Casper shed! Yes...you will learn to know the signs of when she (?) is going to shed and then you can start misting the enclosure to increase the humidity and help the shedding process so that she can get the shed off in one piece. Before she is going to shed she will become dim and dusty looking and her eyes will cloud over and she will usually want to hide more...and eat less. I usually begin misting the inside of the terrarium several times a day at that point to increase humidity. Just don't soak everything...too much humidity is not good. Many people use a shed box, like Kat suggested.
