    Going into shed?

    I have had my girl a little over 6 weeks now and haven't gone through a shed yet, but her belly does have a pinkish color to it now that I haven't noticed in the past. I assumed she is going into shed and so I have bumped my humidity up to 70%.

    looks like a pink belly to me! keep that humidity up for the duration of the shed and you'll both be fine.

    It can take longer than you expect -- pink belly is a very, very early sign of an incoming shed. Have you noticed her general color darkening? You might also notice the darker scales near the belly getting lighter/grayer, and some wrinkles along the neck and where they've turned. I have some photos of Maze's last shed showing a lot of the signs save the pink belly if you'd like to see what I'm talking about lol (a lot easier to show than to explain, imo).
