Copy the [IMG] file from photobucket and paste into here.
10C sounds freezing for a snake, that may have caused some shock. |

and what do you call warm?
30C is warm to a Royal, but will feel cold to you, if it feels warm to you (~50C) it will be scolding to a Royal. |

just outta curiousity did the person you bought the royal off tell you to put it in warm water?
as lee said it will shed in its own time, just leave him be for a week or so to settle in, and in time he will shed :) you should only really help them when they have really bad trouble shedding :) |
