    Shedding Question
    I though 'Rebel' was about to shed cause her eyes turned a blue color and she started to become dull. I looked at her today her eyes are not really blue colored anymore and she looks shiny. I looked threw her tank for her shed but didn't find anything. So is there a problem?

    That's just part of the normal process. Their eyes will clear up and then they will shed a couple days later. Just bump the humidity and leave her alone until she's finished. ;)

    Thank You. I just wanted to make sure cause her last shed I really didn't know there eyes cleared up. Also another question for anyone who might know this answer. My cousin has this stuff in a green spray bottle I forgot what its called but he uses it on his snake while she is shedding to help her out a little bit. On the bottle it says it has Vit B in it and use it every day and spray from the neck down. So I was woundering if this was safe to use. My BP's last shed didn't go so well and hopefully this one will work out smooth.

    It's probably safe to use, but it's also unnecessary. Increased humidity or a humid hide is all that is needed. If your snake does have a bad shed, just soak her for 20 minutes in lukewarm water and gently rub the shed off.

    Oh, and here's a link that describes the entire shedding process. The cleared up eyes do confuse a lot of people and that's probably why some people believe their snake eats its shed.
