    her first shed with me!
    i swear i'm worse than a new parent! i got fatima almost a month ago and her eyes just started getting milky. i was wondering why she wasn't really interested in eating the past couple of days. just a quick question, about how long now until she starts shedding? i'm really paranoid and want her to have a good shed. everytime i'm home i make sure to check her humidity and keep it above 70 and i got a stick for her just in case she needs a lil somethin to rub against. i'm excited and nervous all at the same time!

    average is about 4 to 7 days after she clears up. Just keep an eye out for her, sounds like you are all over it. LOL

    Almost all of my bps shed in their hides. From the time they turn blue until they actually shed is about 7-10 days. I usually see a shed about 48 hours after their eyes clear up. Don't worry about missing it. ;)

    As for feeding, I wouldn't worry about it. It's not unusual for some to turn down food while in shed. Just offer food once a week. If you offer too frequently, you will end up with a stressed snake, and more refusals.
