Last night I went to get Cleo out of her viv, room was pretty dim. Removed her hide, picked her up. Noticed she was a little squirmy in my hands, not calm like usual. Took about 4 steps and noticed as I got into better light that her eyes were blue! and she was very dull looking.

Put her straight back in her viv.

This will be her first shed with us.... so needless to say we are both suffering from "oh no what do we do what do we do what do we do are we doing all we can to help hows the humidity is there enough rough things in there is she okay is she happy what to do what to do...."

Of course we've done lots of research in anticipation of this, but still can't help but be nervous and concerned lol.

Humidity is stable at 60%, and we're now misting (rises to 80% for a couple of hours then drops back to 60%). We're planning on misting 4 times a day, early in the morning, lunchtime, evening (5ish) and night (11ish).

From what I have read we should see her blue for 5-7 days, then clear eyes but dull for a couple of days, then shed. Just writing it out here all you experienced folks can check on us and make sure we're not making goofs.

Her viv has plenty of rough areas, hides are the ceramic rock things, there are some branches and one of the silk plants is embedded in a nice rough rock.

We're prepared to soak if her shed is looking difficult, and we're going to be ready with warm damp towels for her to slither though.

Tonight is her scheduled feeding time, and we're going to offer and see if she is interested. Being as so far she's proving to to be more of a Piggy Python than a Ball Python I'm expecting she'll eat, but we'll see.

Once she clears from blue thats the time to crank up the humidity and try to keep it at a constant 70-80% right? (rather than the current gone blue mist 4 times a day approach) Planning to do that some spagnum, misting and warm wet paper towels as needed.

With luck she will poop too, 5 mice in there since she last went (6 if she eats tonight), so I'll amend her description to the Biggus-Butted-Piggieous-Pythonii (latin never was my strong point )
