    Might be a silly question...
    Is there such thing as "pre-shed" behavior? As in...does anybody else notice their BP becoming less active even before they go blue? It's been about a month since her last shed and I've read that juveniles will shed approximately once every month(ish)...so I'm wondering if she's getting ready to go into the shed stage. I haven't noticed any blue in the eyes yet, but for the last 3 or 4 days, she has been a bit less active than she usually is. Her temps and humidity haven't changed, so I guess I'm just a bit confused.:confuzd:

    I notice this with mine. One thing you can look for before the eyes go opaque is a pinkish hue in the belly scales. I notice this a day or two before the blue stage.

    Just remember that each snake has it's own personality and mannerisms, so just because your snake may become less active before a shed, doesn't mean they all do :). Hope this helps
