I have a female aru-type that ive been feeding up for a couple months to attempt a breeding this fall. I have one concern however. She has the crappiest sheds of any snake i have or have ever had. I keep my temps and humidity right on, shes in a vision 222 with a 30 watt propanel hooked to a bigapp thermostat. Humidity stays high, and i spray at night to bolster. If she becomes gravid, godwilling, and has her "pre-lay shed" , I can almost guarantee it will be stuck on her. Will putting her in a bin with wet towel disturb her too much and screw up the egg development, or would i be ok? I have used this method every time she sheds, and she is a very calm and settled snake. Any thoughts?

Hey,
It shouldn't cause any problems with the laying process. I have a female that also, has had some very bad sheds whilst in her prelay shed, but with a little help from me, and a damp towel and Rubbermaid sweater box, has managed to shed with no consequence to her or the not yet laid eggs. (Egg's are in the incubator and look great). -Angel Chondros are next to godliness!!
