    Shedding Question

    Hi guys so my ball python is shedding she got the grayish eyes and dull skin she hasn't been out of her hide for about 6 to 7 days I fed her 3 days ago she got out grabbed her fuzzy and back to the hide and that's it is that normal behavior during shedding and when will she start peeling the old skin ?

    Ball pythons typically hide most of the time, although during sheds at night i've noticed mine will sometimes roam around in their enclosures and try to rub the shed off.

    I've been watching her enclosure at night she doesn't come out at all I see her breath and everything looks normal but she just doesn't come out I noticed this behavior right before she start having the grey eyes so right before she start going through the shedding process

    How long have you had her for?
    Somehow a shy sheder maybe? Or maybe it's more humid there? (i've been told that they like it a bit higher humid when shedding)

    mine stays in the hide the whole shed process, he sheds in there even, all i do is kick up the humidity and wait to clean up a mess, because right after shed a big poop come along as well.
