    My girl wont shed!!
    She has had the blue eyes and has been looking like she is about to shed for a whole week!! Her humidity is at 60% all the time for her to shed but she just wont do it. Is this normal or should I be worried?

    Once the eyes go blue, they will clear up, and usually they will shed around 2-4 days after that. Just keep the humidity up and it should happen...

    Thanks. I have never seen her take this long. I have been watching her very closely for signs of RI and stuff like that as I am over worried. I just hope she does it soon.

    The older they get the longer it takes. I've had my big girl start a shed, and had two others went from start to finish before she ever went clear. They just get lazier and lazier. :)

    LOL. She is a lazy old fart then. Thanks for making me feel better guys. I was very worried about her.

    I wouldn't worry too much...maybe bump the humidity up to around 80% to help, or soak her in warm water for 15-20 mins then let her rub against something (like tree bark) to get the shead off.

    My girl turns milky for a day or two, then turns completely normal (without actually sheading) for another day or two before she FINALLY sheds...so I wouldn't worry to much, she'll shed when she's ready!

    Hope this helps...at least to put your mind at ease
