Shed

The white poop is a urate, it's different than poop.

If all the shed came off it's no big deal. I highly doubt there is anything going on with half her head that is causing the shed to get stuck. It just happens sometimes and as long as it all comes off she's shedding fine.

I was concerned, but I left her alone over night, and when I woke up this morning the piece of skin from her head was on top of her hide, with the eye cap on it! Yes! She was in her hide so I cannot confirm if her left eye looks better now.

Since her left eye cap was retained last time, and this time it took her some extra effort to get that left side of her head shed, I am wondering if she has something going on over on that side of her head. The rest of the skin came off in pretty much one piece. Any thoughts?

At the end of the process last night she made a huge pee/white poop, and then this morning I found a brown poop as well.

Ok, so I took a look again last night, and she was out of the hide. Left eye still looks "bigger" and a little funkier than the right eye, even though I am 100% sure that the piece of shed from her head had the left eye cap on it. I held it in my hand and there is a very obvious round dome where her eye was. Is it possible that either:

1. Her previously retained eye cap came off, but now she has a "newly" retained eye cap?

2. Her eye is just funky? It literally appears to be larger than the right and slightly scratched or dented or something.

It also looked like 2 of the big dark scales on her nose were lifted up at about a 45 degree angle! I cannot tell if they were supposed to be part of the shed, or of they are new scales, but they were not clear like the rest of the shed. I know pics would help so I will see if I can get a close-up tonight.
