    Shedding

    So it it normal for a bp to shed within a few months apart? I went to feed her today and her eyes are all foggy. She just had a shed back on September 1st . All off in two parts and both eye caps came off too.

    Sure is. We just had a post about this and even as long as 3-4 months is not abnormal. They shed when they need to so weight gain or growth is the normal factors for healthy sheds. Sometimes when really stressed tehy can initiate a shed but that's rare. You are good to go

    Ok. So I will just leave her be and up her humidity and this shed will hopefully be like her last. Thank you so much! Still learning, I have only had her for about a year now.

    Completely normal, nothing to worry about at all. Younger snakes typically shed more frequently as they are growing.
