Question about shedding..

[TheaN526]

Is it harder to spot on younger corns? My corns birthday is 8/08/08 so that makes her almost 9 months. I got her April 14th and have finally noticed some shed skin. I did notice last night she was rubbing herself on the log hide in her viv. I didn't notice anything else though like the blue color everyone is talking about..

Can anyone post a photo of their corn "In shed" so I can see the difference. I only found 1 piece so far after moving a few things around. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before..

Will get a pic after full shed..

Interesting..

Depending on what morph your corn is, sometimes the cloudy eyes and other signs of shed can be hard to notice.

If you got her April 14, it may be possible she was already past the blue phase when you got her. They do clear up and look almost normal for a while immediately before they shed. To stay in that clear phase for 2 weeks seems long to me, but maybe the stress of moving to a new home slowed down the shed?

I think the time for a corn to shed is longer than BP. when zipper goes blue he stay that way around 5 days then clears after that it takes well over a week for him to shed. He is very light so you can only see th blue on his eyes. I have some pics of this past blue stage. Ill post them when I get home.

I'm interested in those as well. We bought our Corn about 2 weeks ago and are going though our first shed with our ball. If it's different, I'd like to see the different phases. Thanks for posting this topic up!

Well I've noticed that her eyes are going blue. I have a few photos but it's really hard to tell but here they are..



I'll have to get a belly shot.. Her colors are definitely duller right now. It's not that noticeable but on the belly it is..

what kind of corn is that? I had one that looked exactly like that a few years back. I always guessed lavender. She shed a few times tho, and i never noticed blue eyes or anything.

Well these are a few photos where she was done shedding in the head and neck area. She still had some left to go but this morning it was all gone.I placed a paper towel for her to crawl through and it worked like a charm. I'll get a few photos of her later on. My camera needs batteries.

I think she's gotten more yellow..


Back of her head showing the cool pattern:


Not as bright but I thought this photo was funny..
