Yayyy:)

This is the 2nd time Imogen has shed with me. The first time she had stuck shed. I didn’t have the humidity right. Even with it being in the mid/high 60s, she still had stuck shed. Tonight she shed all in one piece. It makes me sooo happy. I just cleaned her tank (why it looks so plain), so humidity was in the 80s. She also left me other goodies :)https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a6de5a22f3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3a29375819.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...172c2a6e09.jpg

Awesome! I like to keep the sheds when I can, but a lot of times they leave a nice present in them!

I always find a shed skin and a poop. They seem to go hand in hand. lol Must be a BP trademark lol

Other snakes do that too, sometimes, but it might be more common in BPs because they are less active. When they shed, they finally have to move around
more & one thing tends to "inspire" the other. Just like when you help a snake "swim" in warm shallow water to facilitate things, it's the motion mostly that
gets results...the water just feels good & makes it easier for them to move.

I know when I swim I feel the same way:O

I learned the hard to be very very careful with a snake that is due for a deuce! I keep my snakes in my bedroom, so a when I was cleaning their tanks I would take them out and let them slither around a little on my bed. Well after having to strip off all my bedding and try to wash the stank out a couple times, I now make sure to keep track of their “movements”!

I've never had a snake trash my bed or furniture before, but one I was handling took a dump down my back once, & with long hair, um, it was't pretty, lol.
One thing that helps: when you pick up a snake, look for that fullness just above their cloaca...if you see a little bulge there, BEWARE! ;) -it's "time"!

Imogen hasn’t crapped on anything yet, but she has squirted me with pee. Such a horrible smell. It stayed in my nose for a while, even after showering and washing clothes, etc. I’ve learned to watch for “sausage butt”. I know that means she’s gonna go soon so I don’t handle her then. But I’m fortunate to never have had this mishap. I have only had her since mid September so there’s plenty time for it to happen lol.

Very nice. I gotta admit I'm a bit jelly lol. Mine shed last night but she still has a good amount behind her head. Been keeping humidity above 60 so idk. The last shed did the same thing too. Took a few days to get the rest off but it finally did so I guess it's a win in the end haha

The humidity usually sits in the 50s, low 60s. But I cleaned her tank and it sky rocketed to 80. I think the humidity needs to be in the 70s/80s bc the first time she shed with me, the humidity was in the 60s and it left stuck shed. But it being in the 80s it just slid right off. And yeah, as long as it all gets off is what matters 🙂
