Okay, ready for this?

Strudel on her unboxing day at about 140 grams. She was hatched Halloween of 2014 and I got her in February 2015.

Here she is around 500 grams later that summer...

Fantastic photos and thanks for going through the trouble of including the gif! Super helpful! Wow she's grown! How thick would you say her body is?

Hard to say, but I think it's probably close to the same width as a coke can!

Oh no! Someone needs higher humidity and a nice soak or time with a damp towel.

Ya I had to soak her twice after the first shed, but her head and eye caps didn't come off and still being a newb I was a little scared to try and mess with her head.

I had trouble with the humidity the last couple days before I knew she was shedding.

Here is her cage now. I just fed her after those 2 pics. I added a 2nd warm damp towel on her cool side (left side) to keep the humidity up around 70% and last longer. This coming weekend I will look her and probably give her a soakhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...373c7bbb92.jpg

Temps look too high? Anyway, coco fiber will keep up humidity a lot more easily than aspen since you're working with a screen top. I tried towels for a while for my garter snake screen top cage, but it's a hassle. Switching to coco fiber easily bumped up the humidity by 20%+. They don't need as high humidity as bps, so I don't really do anything else with their cage for it but it tends to maintain that increase even without misting.
