    Ball Python after blue... still hasn't shed. Should I be worried?
    Should I be worried? May has shed for me once before... If I'm correct, the shed cycle goes:

    Pink Belly
    Lighter/Darker colors+Pink Belly
    Lighter/Darker colors+Blue Eyes
    Lighter/Darker colors+Clear Eyes
    Shed

    I saw the blue eyes for May last Thursday/Friday, and they're clear now. She's been in her hide and gets a bit feisty whenever I mist. Speaking of misting, I've been and the humidity has been lingering around 65%-70%. It's 77°F on the cool side and 82°F on the warm side right now. She's on Eco-Earth, and I didn't offer last Thursday (when she usually eats a small mouse). She's about 6 1/2 months old and 160g as of two days ago. Am I doing anything wrong or just being paranoid? Lol, thank you!

    I think 82 is a bit too cold for the warm side, are you sure she didn't shed somewhere in your enclosure? I thought my Carpet did this but I found it balled up in a corner of her tank lol.

    Ball pythons can take a week after they clear up from blue to actually shed. It will she when it's ready ;)
