    first shed for baby bp
    i just got my first bp 2 weeks ago,(3-4 months old) good feeding response, very active form what i heard balls are usually like and loves to be held to let play.
    last night i noticed the eyes milky so i figured she was going into a shed. she has been in her hide alot more than usual and wont move much when held also. is this usual for a shed?
    what are some helpful things i should know about this
    thanks

    Yes, less activity is normal when going into a shed. Also be aware that your "very active" ball may be a sign of stress rather than just its personality.

    Many people like to increase their humidity during the shed cycle because it helps the snake shed more easily so you are less likely to have problems with stuck shed and more likely to get a one piece shed. But others say they don't increase the humidity, and get perfect sheds every time.

    Here is a sticky that will let you know what is going on and help you identify the stages.

    Here is a sticky that will show you what to do if you snake has a problem shed and can't get it all off. It is not a problem if the shed comes off in pieces, as long as the snake gets it all off by itself. This is for when the snake is unable to get the shed off by itself within about 24 hours from when it first starts shedding (not 24 hrs from milky/blue eyes).

    In the future, you'll get more replies and quicker if you post in the correct forum.

    You can't move it yourself (at least not as far as I am aware), but I'm sure an admin will move it for you.
