    Belly is white, no shed coming yet ...the humidity in the snakes home might be a bit low

    humidity is at 65% when she goes blue I move the water dish closer to the light and mist to maintain 80ish %

    her belly being white is why it kinda threw me off that she was so dull I dont handle her to often right now about once every couple of days because I am trying to put some weight on her and dont want her to become stressed I have only had her just at one month but yesterday I took her out in one of the brighter rooms of the house and noticed she was really dull and it struck me as really odd seeing as she just shed a couple weeks ago. When she got ready to shed last time you could barely notice the pink in her belly is it possible she would shed again so soon. She is aprox 6mths old and 82g empty (why I am trying to put weight on her)

    any other ideas on what it might be or is 65% humidity to low?

    65% consistently is fine

    How much and how often do you feed him? I feed my female, one med rat once a week and so since it could be considered power feeding she has been shedding a lot from all the weight I'm putting on her. It may be the same situation

    What are you using to measure humidity, and how old is it? You could be getting an incorrect reading.

    Is it a stick on gague or something like an indoor outdoor thermo and hydro gague? Also, at six months that's not super crazy... i don't think. Like I said my female has shed as close as 1.5 months apart and she is Seven.
