    Why no shed?? Lol

    My BCI girl has not shed for me at all since I've had her. She eats every 7 days, I'd say 7-10 but she never refuses. But I've had her for around 2 months now, no pressed dullness, no milky eyes nothing. Any ideas as to why she has yet to shed for me? Maybe she's just growing slowly??

    BCI's grow slower than balls, and shed less frequently as well. I would say about every 3 or so months. I've had mine since April, and he's only just now going into his 3rd shed with me.

    No worries, she will when it's time. Boas tend to go through growth spurts rather than a steady progression.

    I think talking about her made her go into shed lol

    Her eyes are looking a little milky, actually easier to see when the flash hit her eyes and her tail (with all the color) is starting to dull a bit and looks like something inbetween her skins. I am so excited about this since she had to get that incision on her nose and I'm ready to see it start going away!!!

    They aren't as "obviously blue" as balls. At least not mine.

    Yeah I didn't see it until I shined a light on her (I like watching their pupils shrink) and was like well kooky there, she knew I was talking about her not shedding, so she decided to finally do it!!!
