    Ball Python in blue for too long ?
    Hello everyone,

    I have a 0.1 Vanila Ball Python and she've been shedding for over two weeks now.
    I fed her last time on the night of 04/12 as her colors started to fade, and sense 15/12 she's in Blue but she didn't shed yet.
    she's not active at all sense the last feeding.
    The temps are all normal (32C/89.6F Hot-side, 27C/80.6F Cool-side) and I've been maintaining the Humidity at 90% to help her shed.
    usually she'd shed far more quicker than this, should i be worried and take her to the vet ?
    Here's her Husbandry sheet

    Sorry for my bad English

    Once my BP went into the blue, even had slightly cloudy eyes, and came out of it without shedding at all.

    So shes only had the cloudy eyes for 5 days now? I dont start counting it as being in shed till the eyes go blue... Cause ive seen snakes start loosing color like they are going into shed a week or so before their eyes turned cloudy and drove my self crazy with concern... Just keep your humidity correct and limit handling to only when nessecary

    Isnt 90% extremely high? I always thought that 70% or so was ideal for shedding

    90% is high, but as long as there isn't any visible condensation or pooling moisture, it's fine while they're in shed. Overkill, but fine. :gj:
