Long Shed... it is a prob?

[mradford]

Hey,

I've have my ball for about 2 mths now. She was 2 months old when I got her and she hasn't shed yet. She looked like she went blue a couple of weeks again, but didn't go 'all the way'. Her eyes have been dull but not full out cloudy (I have a MKS whose eyes go white - does this happen with balls too?)
Temps have been great, humidity has been steady and she has been recently spending ALOT of time in her humid hide (like three days straight). She eats regularly and is very friendly (I handle her regularly). I don't know what to think - any of the usually problems (temp, humidity, ect) are not there.

Any suggestions?

Hmmm... Maybe you should soak her for 30 mins or so and see if some of the skin starts to get loose? I'm super new at this, but I'd be concerned about retained sheds if her eye's have gone blue and nothing happened more than once.

What is your humdity at, and did you crank up the humdity when her eyes turned blue?

I have no idea, my bp seems to love getting a bath.


(forgive me if I'm not making much sense, I just took a really hard exam.)

BP's eyes go more blue than totally white. She might be going into shed for you if she is spending that much time in her humid hide. BP's usually got into the "blue" stage for a couple of days, then their eyes will clear up for a couple of days, then they will shed. The whole process generally takes from 7 to 10 days.
