Slight popping...

Well a couple of things here, first, I know it's a little more difficult to see a BCI go into shed than most other snakes, but when I shine a light at her eye, I can see a little fog eye. Second, there is a small intention on her eye, could it be because she's going into shed, and I need to up humidity a little?

If her eyes are bluing you should bump the humidity up.

roger!

So, whats the best way to get humidity up in the WHOLE room? I have a humidifier, but it didn't seem to make a difference running all day and night for like a week.....

What is the humidity of the room now? I use a room humidifier that keeps the room in the mid-30s (winter, blech!), and then I mist individual tubs lightly. Depending on the makeup of your room, you probably don't want the whole room at 50-60+% (mold growth, bacteria, etc.).

Yeah it's at about 35-45, winter sux lol

x2.... If the room humidity is already at 40% or so, I would just lightly mist the snake's enclosure. If he's in a tub, I just sprinkle a few drops of water on the substrate over the warm end each evening before a shed. They all shed perfectly this way. :gj:

Cool, might have to try that!!! I am assuming you do it over the warm side so it doesn't stay and mold or w/e and it helps raise humidity :)

Generally, yes, but I do it so lightly that mold wouldn't be an issue. Just enough moisture to boost the humidity overnight a wee little bit to help with the shedding process. ;)

Good news!!! Look at these pix and tell me what you see ;)
