I Shedding sign that everything is right?

Hello!
As the title says: Is shedding an indication that your husbandry is good and the animal is healthy and growing?

Been waiting a long time for my BPs shed. This is the first time its shedding in my care. Shes 4 months. The temps/humidity is good, jacked the humidity up, and misting 4 times a day!

Shes has blue eyes and faded skin, but she still are calm and let me handle her.

Thanks.

No shedding is a sign it is time to shed. Weight loss, weight gain, illness, and injury all can trigger a shed. Healthy snakes shed but sick ones may too. Feeding is a better gauge of husbandry typically if the temps are off up or down the snake will not eat. A complete shed (one or 2 large bits) are an indication of correct humidity.

Alright, Shes eating like a champ too, dont have to tempt her or anything, I just place the rat pup on top of her hide. look away for 1min and its gone :D

Then I guess everything is alright

Thanks

If the shed comes out all in 1 piece it usually indicates that your husbandry is good, but it is by no means a 100% way to judge

Yeah, I read about this. Anyways the shedding process seems to go good,
an temps/eating/humidity is fine!

its the first time for everything now, so this is exiting :)

Like everyone else said, just a sign of if your humidity is good. Snakes will shed regardless. Eating is a much better gauge. Also, you mighty try not to handle her when she is in shed. Some of them can be grumpy, (their skin is tight & they can't see well), some of them can get stressed out.
