    Pending shed
    Well Triarius is beginning the shed cycle. Eyes are milky looking. Humidity has become less of an issue now more or so the heat gradient is now the main concern. Im gonna invest in a fan and a thermostat this weekend. But im excited to see how that works out. He (she) is really passive and seems ok with being handled. Ive gotten over my fear. Last night was the second sucessful feed since its been in my care in the last two weeks. Thanks for all the advice ive gotten with changing its housing to a tub and how to control humidty and temp and handling.

    Congrats on getting a better handle on your husbandry, however it's a good idea actually to not handle your snake while they are in the shed process. You'll notice that before the snake is "in blue" that his/her coloring gets darker and more drab - this is the beginning of the shed of process and it's best to not handle that very much or if you can help it, not at all.

    Most snakes in shed become nervous and/or irritible but seem to return to their former disposition after shedding. =)
