Very cool you were able to catch her first shed! I didn't see my BP shed for the longest time after I got him, I'd always just find a rolled up shed in the morning. I hope it all comes off nicely and can't wait to see her shiny new look after shedding

Re: First time BP owner after 7 years of research!
Yeah I will definitely grab some photos tomorrow morning, She just finished about 15 minutes ago and I see she still has a bit stuck on her right side of her head(hopefully not the eyecap).. so I will soak her tomorrow if she hadn’t got it off yet! Its such a struggle without a hygrometer, as the previous owner didn’t have one and now I need to wait for next thursday when lockdown is over in my country

Even after keeping snakes for many years, it's still fun to watch them in the act of shedding... (now if only my dogs would shed in one piece! lol)

If she does have a stuck eye cap, give her a soak first and then use a damp towel to gently try to rub the eye cap off in the direction she sheds (toward her tail). Also make sure the water you use to soak is around 85F so it's not too hot or cold. It is definitely tough to gauge humidity without a hygrometer! It can also help to put a damp piece of sphagnum moss in the hides when your snake goes blue to give them a bit of a humidity boost.

Yes, for sure! It's very satisfying to watch

Re: First time BP owner after 7 years of research!
When inspecting the plant closer, I found exposed wire right on top
one of the her scales also seems “dry” or hard, it is located at the start of the scratch, it there anything I can do to help her get better?
