    Shed question.
    Ok so I read somewhere on here that balls can go into rapid shed if there scales/skin gets damaged. Also I posted on here a few days ago about her having tape on her, now I got it completely off with out any damage, I triple checked.

    I pull Medusa out today and she is DEEP in the blue phase... the time frame fits and I'm just worried could I have forced her into a shed? Her last shed was 03/30/2010.

    She shed on the following dates

    Born - 07/22/09
    07/30/09
    09/18/09
    11/22/09
    1/30/10
    3/30/10

    So she shed 8 days after hatching then 2 and then roughly every 2 to 2 and a half months after wards. Now its just barely been a month... Am I just being overly worried because of the tape incident or should I look for something else.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't think it is anything to worry about.

    It's fine XD It only means new scales, right? It'll fix the damage caused by the tape right away! :D By the way, did you see the post about rapid shed on one of my threads?

    From what I understand, although snake sheds are usually periodic, the occassional spontaneous shed is not unheard of.

    Maybe the body is going into shed because it wants assurance? Plausible; I suppose.
