The best thread in all the land!!
OK nathair has been here for about a month and i was looking at him for like almost a month before i got him and he still hasen't shed. I think if any he only shed once before. He is about three and a half months old. His belly went pink about two weeks ago and still nothing. Is there something wrong with him?????????
BTW i lied this tread kinda stinks, LOLOLOLOL
Re: The best thread in all the land!!
If his belly went pink you should be having a shed anytime soon. Just check and make sure it's not the beginnings of a burn. ;)
Don't worry about shedding too much. The timing just varies. Normally I notice the blue eyes a couple of days after the pink belly, but it can vary with the individual. It'll happen. :D

:O That makes me scared... Mine has been soaking for 2 weeks. And has had a pink belly for about a week. No blue eyes... no shedding. What is my boy doing?!?!?!?!?

Ball pythons should not soak if provide the proper environment. What are your temperatures and how are you heating?

Two weeks after pink seems a bit long for a shed for such a young ball python. Has his belly been pink for 2 weeks straight or has it turned clear? How are you heating the enclosure and what is your humidity like?

Well he start soaking when I had him in the tank with poor humidity (so hard to keep it up!). He has been in his new tub for only about 2 days (60-70% hum, because of shed). He is still soaking. But right before I put him in I fed him an adult mouse... so he could be soaking to relieve the pressure correct? using a UTH.

I don't know if it's normal or not But my older male soaks at least once a week. Ive had him over 1 1/2 years. The 3 other ones won't go near their water unless they want a drink. I think they all are different.

How are you controlling the heat on the UTH? And where/how are you measuring the actual temprature it is putting out?

Have you measured the temps on the floor directly over the UTH?
