Getting this girl Wednesday need name. Suggestions was told she is a hypo but I suspect there's something else with how orange and kind of red she is. I don't know much about billogenetics, but I am assuming to be something blood, potentially.?

My boa is starting to shed and I wasn’t home so my mom noticed she started to shed and kinda folded her shed skin on her nose back just a bit because when she was breathing it was kind of flapping around or kind of blowing like a balloon, since it was around her nostril it was inflating. Should I worry, or should I try putting her in a bucket with some water to help her? I’m not to sure if the shed is stuck or not. Her cage humidity has been fine but she was in her hide which was a bit dry so I’m not sure what to do.
This is probably a dumb question but I’m kinda curious does her mouth look like it’s properly aligned? Like is this how all boas heads look from this angle

Just adopted my first Kenyan sand boa. Not sure of the sex. I’m thinking female but looking for more opinions. Thanks!
Hi everyone!
I'm looking for some opinions about buying food online, and your experience with the shipment.
The rats are usually shipped around 4 PM, and I pick them up from the courier the next morning at approximately 9:30 AM. That's about 17-18 hours in transit and temps now are 10-17 Celsius.
The seller usually packs them in either a Styrofoam box or a cardboard box tightly filled with newspaper for insulation.
From my previous orders, I've noticed that the rats sometimes arrive slightly soft rather than completely frozen solid, but they still feel noticeably cold to the touch.
I'd especially appreciate hearing from people who regularly order frozen feeder rats online and have experience with overnight shipping.
How do your rats usually arrive? Are they always completely frozen solid, or are they sometimes slightly thawed?
Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences!

So I just got bit for the first time by my 3y/o boa imperator!
Didn’t really hurt felt like a cat scratching my hand but I am worried about more about my boa. He was laying on his ledge when he nipped me because he thought I was food and when he got me I pulled without realizing…
So he dropped down from the ledge about 10cm on cork wood and a stick, I just wanna make sure that drop isnt dangerous for him! I checked his body and didn’t feel anything unusual or see anything bad in his mouth.
Any advise?
