    Brazilian rainbow Boa shedding soon!!

    My Brazilian boa should be about to shed any day now I can't wait to see how beautiful he/she is gonna look with the new birthday suit colors...!!!!!

    After this first shed and the one that comes after I'll be able to start knowing estimated times about when he/she'll shed.

    Also I'm going to use the number of mice I feed him between sheds also to estimate the next one..

    So far using mice; since I got him he has eaten two mice per feeding except his last feeding when he only ate one...So thats a total of 5/6 mice. a month.

    now the shedding....

    the boa is lovely! Well as for estimating the shedding times its not an exact science for instance i have a pair of female Jamaican boas one of the females Tabitha shed her skin after having a fuzzie rat then to my amazement 7 days later totally shed again which has never happened to my snakes before? she didnt even cloud over! Let us know how you get on anyway!!

    I was told when a snake sheds twice that soon it may be due to stress...Do you think something could have stressed her out?

    Did the second shed be a stuck shed at all? meaning the second time she shedded did any of it stick to her?
