Re: i think my bp is going to shed
Sounds like an upcoming shed. You can try to feed him, all snakes are different some will eat when in shed some won't. I have 2 snakes 1 could care less if he's shedding or not and the other just likes to be left alone. If your feeding live just keep an eye on them.
Re: i think my bp is going to shed
We offer whether they are in shed or not. Some will eat, some will not, some will eat one shed cycle and not the next. Everyone gets offered once weekly though.
Re: i think my bp is going to shed
well i feed him in a seperate box so i dont know if hes just going to strike at me when i take him out maybe ill just push back the feeding until wednesday and see if he shows any really obvious sign of shedding before then.
Re: i think my bp is going to shed
i think he is starting to.i went to take him out just now and i noticed his belly had a pinkish color instead of the white and brown down the middle.i picked him up then i just put him back when i seen his belly.i rested my finger against his body and he usally wont flinch but tonite he did i hope thats just because hes shedding.about how often do they shed anyways?
Re: i think my bp is going to shed
my BP ate on Sat. and just shed today. He never shows a pink belly, though. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. If yours is about to shed, just make sure the humidity is kept up. Mine sheds about every 6 weeks, but he's still pretty young.
