Looks like it's two for two for boas in shed here!

Hah! Both of mine are in the same state currently as well.

Leonard just came out of blue and should shed in the next couple days while Mirabelle went solidly opaque 1-2 days after I fed the other night.

Also her fastest shed cycle since I’ve had her. Usually averages every ~3 months, but went blue just shy of 2 months this time. Bumping up to medium rats at summer feeding frequency = growing boas!

Hah, that's more or less the deal with Kuzco! Just sub in small mice and baby quail for those medium rats. I'm pretty sure I've heard that BCOs and BILs have similar metabolisms -- ie. they're both a bit slower than other boas, given their more temperate home climates -- so it's interesting to see ours behave similarly.

All of the snakes here got a relatively large rodent lightly dusted with some vitamins a little over a week ago. I'm pretty sure the substantial meal coupled with some significant summer weather patterns is what triggered the boas' synchronized shed cycles. I wouldn't be surprised if Pandora follows suit, but she's not showing any signals of going into shed.

Fresh skin on Leonard Eugene overnight. Top picture is outside in overcast, rainy noon light. Bottom picture is in the snake room with the floor lamp on. Love that long, spear shaped, flat head on BC.

Her appearance looks like she shed today, her body language tells me to wait til tomorrow morning to look in that hide though. Especially with a bunch of feeders thawing at the moment

Yeah, I think waiting is a good idea!
