    Kaliya finally shed ! :D
    My 4 months old BP finally shed!
    I didn't see it coming though. No signs of pink belly, blue eyes or whatever. She seemed normal. And shed during the night I guess.. Anyway, she shed in 3 parts but nothing left in her body :D

    I saw also that some of her scales were weird. Should I be concerned about it ?

    And other thing.. I tried giving her a baby rat since mice are too small.. But she just stared at it and didn't attack.. Normal?
    Should I continue giving her mice , or maybe 2 at once ?

    Thanks!

    Haha I don't think my parents would like the idea of having a rat and a mice home xD I'll see..

    Any idea about the scales ? Is it normal ?

    Looks like turned back scales from rubbing it on something in the enclosure, most likely during shedding.. I wouldn't be worried about it.

    Same thing happened to me last time she shed. It should be fine.

    yes :)
    I tried with frozen Saturday but she refused it
    So I gave her a mouse yesterday
    Gonna give her one Saturday too
    I'll try frozen again next week probably..
    And I think she refused the rat the last time because it might have been too big for her..
