    Does she not know what to do??
    My bp started shedding friday or thursday. Her eyes were blue and then by saturday or sunday her skin from her head was coming off. Now, she isnt trying to get the rest off. My humidity is up around 75, i have 2 humidity guages, both digital, along with 2 water dishes, plus i spray when needed. I took her out the other day and put her in a warm wet towel and all she did was go to bathroom in it. She dosent seem like shes trying to get the rest of the skin off and dont know what else to do. I also let her soak in water for abit yesterday after using the towel on her. What can i do to help her out? Please any help is appreciated!!:D

    i wouldnt worry as long as you humity is up he/she will shed on it own, they really dont like to be handled when in shed so i would jst leave he/she alone and jst let it happen.

    Heh mine did the same thing for his first shed. Sometimes I guess they just get lazy :P

    Keep the humidity up for a while, and if you see that she still hasn't gotten it all off in a few days, help her out with it. Try soaking her again, and then do the towel thing, but try to make her go through your fingers, like try to make a sort of tunnel that's a bit smaller than her so she has to push through it. if you see anything starting to come off, you can always help her along by pulling it off (make sure you pull in the direction of the scales).

    my little one had a bad shed when he first came to me. i soaked him every other night and after i did i took a warm wet cloth and rubbed it against the edges of the shed that was still stuck, i cleared shed in a circle all the way around its body so that he could pull the rest off himself since the top half was the part he wasnt getting. it came off slowly but came off and he looked awesome after wards besides the piece of shed that stuck to the top of his head :(

    Just leave her be, she will do it when she wants to. There is no rush for her to finish her shed, so she will finish it when shes ready to.
