Shed question.

[David802]

Ok so I read somewhere on here that balls can go into rapid shed if there scales/skin gets damaged. Also I posted on here a few days ago about her having tape on her, now I got it completely off with out any damage, I triple checked.

I pull Medusa out today and she is DEEP in the blue phase... the time frame fits and I'm just worried could I have forced her into a shed? Her last shed was 03/30/2010.

She shed on the following dates

Born - 07/22/09
07/30/09
09/18/09
11/22/09
1/30/10
3/30/10

So she shed 8 days after hatching then 2 and then roughly every 2 to 2 and a half months after wards. Now its just barely been a month... Am I just being overly worried because of the tape incident or should I look for something else.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think it is anything to worry about.

Nothing to worry about when she sheds imo

Ty for the info! I'm overly nervous cause its her first shed with me, and the tape thing was hell...

It's fine XD It only means new scales, right? It'll fix the damage caused by the tape right away! By the way, did you see the post about rapid shed on one of my threads?

From what I understand, although snake sheds are usually periodic, the occassional spontaneous shed is not unheard of.

Maybe the body is going into shed because it wants assurance? Plausible; I suppose.

sounds perfectly fine to me
