    Question Shedding habits?

    My BP girl started showing signs of her first shed with me about 4 days ago, her belly was pink and she was getting slightly dull before that, then she went into blue 3 days ago. Yesterday she cleared up and she is still clear today. Seems like it went by pretty fast to me, I've heard that it's usually about a week and a half long cycle but for her it's been like 5 days. Also, her skin feels loose and she has wrinkles, from what I've read that's also normal before a shed, especially because she has fresh clean water and good humidity so I don't think she's dehydrated. It's usually about 50% to 60% but now it's 70% to help with a shed. Does everything sound normal to you guys? Hopefully it's just that I'm paranoid, but any input is appreciated!

    Sounds normal. sometime you wont even notice that she is even in shed and one day there will be a shedded skin on the floor. Sometimes it can even take two weeks but for the most part it usually takes anywhere from 5-10 days.
