LMAO!! And you want me to "CHILL"??

Yeah jas just chill bro. Some people just do need the reassurance so they feel better about whatever situation they are having with their ball at the time.. But anyways whats the setup, temps, feeding schedule?

So, you are ready to give the op your advice??

OMFG!!

If you find a nice long shed in the next couple days then you will know. Sometimes you will miss them goin "blue" and you just walk up to see a shed. There is no other way to know.
And Jas, just chill! LOL...sorry dude, I could not resist. Believe me, i'm right there with ya.

I am chill lol, i just wanted someone to tell me what was one possible explanation of what he was doing..because my ball hasn't went through a shed since i've had him. And i was just curious?

[ndizzleg]

And granted, i don't know everything about balls,..noone does. And there can always be someone on this forum that does not know the answer ,but someone else very well could. It's about helping each other out..and just ..."chillin"

[rabernet]

If he continues to do that - check the surfaces that he's rubbing on to see if he's "slimed" them - which would be mucus and could be an indication of an RI.

Or it could just be his face was itchy.

Sometimes snakes will also soak a little after having a big meal.

John, you make it sound like no one around here but YOU has anything useful to say about anything. It's posts like this that give other sites a bad name for hostility and attacking "newbies". I can completely understand a bit of impatience in seeing the same basic questions over and over again, or feeling like someone needs their hand held through every little movement their animal makes....BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS SITE IS HERE FOR.

I don't care how impatient you are feeling or how stupid you think this all is. This site is NOT HERE FOR YOU. It will NOT be run in Jasball's Image. If these sorts of threads bother you so deeply then just skip them and move on to something you do feel worthy of your godlike skills.

Wow, Judy~ I never knew you had it in you!
To the OP: it is really important for a new keeper (in most non-emergent instances) to stop and think and observe prior to posting. Also, the search feature and stickies are really really useful and ought to be checked out
