    My ball python just pretended it needed to shed? Uhh...what?

    So earlier in the week my cinny girl started getting a pink belly and was looking faded, so I started migrating her water dish to the back of the tub to turn the humidity up. Yesterday, she was dull, pink belly, and had some very blue eyes.

    Checking up on everyone tonight, she looks like she just shed....but there is no skin in her cage. The wife swears she didn't clean the cages.

    Any thoughts?

    They will clear up before they shed. So blue stage, clear, then shed.

    Huh? I don't think in the 24 years I've kept snakes that I've ever seen that.

    My mind is blown...

    I haven't kept snakes for years on end, but I recently learned they clear up before they shed as well. There's always something to learn in this hobby.
