    Is she going into shed?

    I've had my female spider ball python, Freya, for about a month now, and I've gotten her to eat for me three times. It has been a few days since she last ate so I needed to check if she had defecated yet. She hasn't been out of her hide since she ate so I also wanted to make sure everything was alright. It turned out she did poop, so I took her out to clean everything, and noticed her eyes are a bit hazy.
    I heard you aren't supposed to really handle them when they are in shed, so I put her into a little Tupperware I use to weigh her until I was done cleaning the tub. She seemed like she wanted to explore, but retreated back into the container whenever I got close (except when I picked it up lol) I was kinda worried she might bite me so I was really careful grabbing it from the bottom.




    Here's a couple of pics I took of her in the Tupperware.


    Here's one of her a bit before her last feeding.


    And here's one for fun, because I'm proud she's finally eating and growing!

    Re: Is she going into shed?

    Thanks you guys! This is my first time seeing it happen in person so I wanted to make sure I was correct. I'm hoping to get a nice clean shed in one piece!
