    Please help me shed
    accidently put this in pictures, she is a boa and i put it in the right place but maybe i can get help here too, so recently my hypo pastel RTB is getting this dark coloring on her side, and getting dull in color plus her belly has a yellow tinge now, she is eating well and everything is she about to shed? her eyes dont look really milky or blue though?

    Moved this into the RTB forum for ya. ;) I'm not as familiar with boas as I am pythons and colubrids, but it probably is shed time. Just bump up the humidity some and leave him alone until he sheds out. (Can take a week or so from the time you first notice signs until they actually shed out) IF he finishes the shed, but has big pieces stuck all over him, then you may need to soak him and assist in completing the process. But until then...just let him be. Most likely he'll do just fine all by himself. :)

    Your boa appears to be in a dark phase...you will notice the colors change throughout the day according to temperature, mood, etc. This is normal.
