    Few questions about shedding
    Hey everyone, I have a few questions pertaining to the shedding process,
    the other week I noticed my BP's eye was covered by this white film, so, I assume this is the start of a shed, all this said I went to feed her and she refused to eat, is this normal ?
    Should I still try and feed her on her schedule ?
    How long does the shedding process take from start to finish ?
    And, is my humidity level good at 52% for her to shed with ease ?
    Thank you all that help me.

    Re: Few questions about shedding
    It is normal for them to refuse while in blue (stages you will notice prior to shed) and during shed, although some will feed during this time most will not ... When you notice your snake nearing shed I.e.- pink belly, bluish-white/dull eyes .. you should bump the humidity up to about 70 - 75% or provide them with a humid hide (a hide with moist sphagnum moss in it on the warm side of the enclosure) they will most likely seek refuge in that to help shed, the whole process from pink belly to shed should take about a week and a half :gj:
