Hey, as you can see, my ball python, Sidda appears to be entering shed.
This picture was taken when she came out of her hide for the first time in days. I am slightly concerned, since it has been five days since her eyes started to blue and skin lost color. It seems like she's ready to shed, but she isn't. Am I being impatient? I've kept her humidity higher (60%-70% and fluctuating) sometimes it will be as high as 80% although I feel that may be too high. After buying a temp gun I have managed her temps more accurately. Her heating pad stays at 94-95°. Cool side is 75-79° hot side is about the same as her heating pad in air temp. Last she ate was the 11th of December. I got her at the end of November and she recently shed right before I got her. A few breeders friends tell me to give her a soak, but she is really antsy since she can't see very well and I really don't want to disturb her. I took her to the vet after I got her to make sure she was completely healthy and she passed with flying colors. No respitory issues or anything. She is in a glass terrarium but I have half of it covered with a warm wet towel to keep in humidity and I mist her enclosure 3-4 times a day. Tips? What am I doing wrong? Am I just being impatient? Thanks. I'm a little worried.
