    1 month no shed?
    I got my first BP about a month ago. I have been feeding 1 adult mouse every 5 or 6 days. He eats great and poops once in a while but hasn't shed yet. I would rather feed rats but I livhttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...890de817e9.jpge in STL and can't find anywhere other than Petco with healthy rodents. It's either adult mice or huge rats. I don't have a scale but am posting a pic of him with a DVD case to get an idea of size. He seems bigger but hasn't shed. So do you guys think an adult mouse enough? How often do Ur balls shed?http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...ea8dcc4bda.jpg

    Adult mouse seems like a good size, he will shed when he needs to shed 😊 nothing to worry about. He's very pretty by the way! Firefly morph?

    I thought so I just thought it would have happened by now. Yes he's a firefly and thank you. When I went to an expo he really stood out. I'm new to this and didn't really know what to look for in a decent morph but his colors just popped. I can't wait to get a pic right after a shed.

    He's a gorgeous firefly :) and I agree with Sammie, he will shed eventually. Mine usually shed every 50-60 days or so, and my adult male takes even longer than that sometimes. So don't worry [emoji4]

    Yeah, I really didn't care for the way they looked at first. My wife had to have this albino she found on craigslist though. It was all down hill from there. Now we have 19, and 2 of them are breeding.

    My boy Akeda is starting his second shed ever. His first one ended on October 22nd. If you're seeing dull coloration on his body, usually that means that he's getting ready to shed. I noticed it like a week and a half ago, and today is the first that i've noticed that his eyes are turning blue.

    Hes very pretty. I'm hoping our first shed together goes good. I guess that's the real test. I'll know whether I'm doin this right.

    Prec, my normal girl is almost 8 months and has slowed down her shedding dramatically. It was like a month but last time was back in October. She went blue and basically hid away for a week finally coming out and shedding immediately. She just turned blue yesterday after staying in her hot hide with her damp miss since Saturday. I guess she will reappear when she's ready but I sure miss her! Is this normal?
