    YES< his 1st shed!!!

    I am so excited that my little BP is about to shed for his 1st time!!!! I have read the shedding sticky on here 100 times now so I think I am prepared, I have even watched a video on how to help them if they have a bad shed.

    So this post is just to ask if there is anything I should keep an eye out for or should do to help my BP shed. I have given him fresh water, I have the tank a little bit above 70% humidity (72-74), I have sprayed the tank a little bit as well.

    P.S. Forgot to include pix

    As you see here, his skin is starting to dull a bit, guessing he is in the 3-7 day range!


    This is a better pic of his eyes, not as clear as the 1st, but still you can see the fogginess of the fluid build up!

    Just keep your humidity up and the snake will take care of it. Don't overly stress yourself, or maybe your just really excited and there is nothing wrong with that. Best if luck.

    Just a heads up, they usually shed at night when no one is looking. I rarely get to see my BPs shed. But my JCP on the other hand sheds in the middle of the day and that one I can watch. But maybe your luck will be better than mine.

    Well, it's funny you say that lol, I am actually on my wifes schedule, which is 11pm-7am, so I am up allll night long from about 6pm-10am, so if he does it at night i will def be able to see!!!! He is right behind my PC, which I am always on and always looking over at him!!!! (might be a her, but I am not breeding, so I dont care lol)
