    shed?
    my bp have cloudy eyes afew days back and i went to check on it today and it was clear? the body have dark colours and clear eyes? what tat means?
    did i make a wrong assumtion thatit was gonna shed.. i heard that the colour of the eyes will clear before shed?.. my BP's eyes did clear but the colour remains? i thought the body suppose to be cloudy? or should i wait for another few days? i gave it a bath today and keep check of the humidity just sit back and wait? =)

    There is some excellant post up in the care/husbandry section I believe about this. The shed process goes thru stages and usually have a corresponding time range with each of them.

    In general....Pink belly leading to your poor color and cloudy eyes.
    After a period of time they will clear up and look relatively normal
    Usually 48-72 hours after this clearing stage they will shed

    It is important that once they clear up you make sure humidity levels are up....general rec is 70% during this time frame.....again this is a quick synopses of the process...the caresheet gives you specific time durations and actual pictures of the process:)

    PS: The only time the soaking process should occur is if the shed is bad and there is remaining pieces that are not easily removable. Again there is a post and pic process of how to soak you bp after a bad shed:)

    Bad shed? No problem
    The Shedding Process

    These are found in the husbandry section...excellant posts:)

    just keep the humidity up at like 80% I bet you it will be anyday. Usually after three days of looking clear again mine shed usually that day or the next. Don't worry lol.

    Also in the future try not to bathe your snake unless he is having a bad shed. Bathing them before a shed leaches oils in their skin that they need in order to shed properly.

    Just keep your humidity around 70% and in a few days you should have a nice beautiful snake and a pile of old skin.
