how often should a BP shed?
i'd like to thank everyone for being so nice so far :) i have learnt alot from people over here.
so my question is, i heard that a baby BP would probably shed twice a month or once a month.
right now i have my BP over month and a 1/2 and still no signs of shedding "no blue eyes"
is it normal? im feeding her one lab mouse a week.
she's 8 months old now.
thanx
Re: how often should a BP shed?
I usually see sheds every 6 weeks, give or take a bit. It can happen as early every 2 weeks to every 2 months. You may try feeding her 2 lab mice once a week. She should be big enough to take two, unless the one mouse leaves a lump. Don't worry, the shed will come. ;)

Mine also sheds about every 6 weeks, give or take. I am currently feeding him one adult mouse every week, after the next shed, I think I may try to bump him up to two, and see if he takes them both.

This page is underconstruction.......but the first question deals with shedding frequency....it might help a bit.

Best BP.net advice we got when Cleo was going into her first shed...
"If your temps are right and your humidity is at 60%, sit down and have a beer."
