    Soaking while "in- blue"?
    My girl is at the "in-blue" or opaque stage of the shedding process. Because she was shipped to me while in this stage, I want to give her the best chance at a healthy shed as possible.

    My question is, Would it be ok to give her a soak while at this stage? Or is it best to just leave her alone and just keep humidity levels up in her enclosure and hope for the best?

    Keep the humidity up to 65-70 and there shouldn't be a problem.

    I would get her in her cage and add a large water bowl or spray depending on the region you live in. Soaking damages the natural oils that snakes develop during this period between the fresh scales and old scales.

    It`s ok, a female Queen Bee one of my ball pythons soaks everytime before she sheds and never had any problems so far by doing that. Just leaving her alone is the best choice for now. They know what to do with their own nature.

    Just keep the humidity around 70%, and all will be fine :):)

    Ok, thanks guys! Sounds like I'll just be leaving her be and keep humidity up.
