Shedding question

Is it usual for bp's to stay in the hide on the warm side during shedding?Carmen hasnt come out of the warm side hide in 2 days now.

Might be a bit more humid and comfortable in there. I wouldn't worry about it. My BP usually disappears for a few days during her shedding process, too. Not that she's particularly visible most days...but even her evening slithers are set aside for shedding time. ;)

ah yeah,well the humidity is at 76% now and her eyes are beginning to clear up.its just my corn snake does the opposite,he goes to the cool side and to the warm side to get the skin off.

I've noted that mine liked to hang out in his hide days before shedding. He's new to the family so I think maybe he was more shy during that time.

Mine wouldnt eagt for me last saturday,then i noticed she was in blue yesterday evening.and yeah she did hang out in her hides alot the last few days.nice pic you put up,cant wait for the first shed.gonna bring the skin into work with me and bring it into the office and scare the :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: out of the girls with it.

Would it help to give her a soak before she sheds?or should i wait and see if she has trouble first?

Nope. No soaking is needed.

When the eyes turn blue up the humidity between 70-80%. Keep it like that after the eyes clear. Now watch for a perfect shed.

humidity is 78% right now,it varies between 75 and 79%.her eyes are totally cleared now, but iv noticed that i can see lateral folds of skin on her body that i couldnt see before she was in blue.she is still hiding out in her warm hide.how long after the eyes clear up do they usually shed?iv had trouble getting her to feed and she only fed once for me (2 weeks ago now) since i got her 2 months ago.i dont want her losing too much weight.

My Daisy was in the blue on a Tuesday, and she shed completely on the following Saturday. She ate for me the next day.

I thaught a daisy was a flower?ah no,im hoping she will shed tonight , id love to see her feeding again(amazing sight)

Hey,she just shed lastnight,well kind of shed,she shed the skin on the top half of her body, but the bottom half and the last 3 inches of her tail are not shed yet and she hasnt tried to get them off even,,i read that a soak for 30 minutes in room temp water wil get it off,,is this true?should i try it?should i wipe her down after th soak or just put her back into her tank?

Here's what I do with the occassional bad shed.

Tried the soak like in the link you sent,but not much skin came off.i actually tried it before i read the thread,but what i did was pretty much the same as what you said to do.

sorted,tried again with slightly warmer water and a sock,within 10 minutes, all the skin was off.
