Pre Shed Clues

[greenmonkey51]

I know most of the clues of a immediate coming shed, but what about some far off clues. I've started to notice that my girl has a couple shinyish looking patches on her head. I noticed one when I got her and now I noticed a couple more. Are these signs of an oncoming shed.

Besides the pink belly, general haziness of skin and the blue eyes, I don't notice any other real obvious signs of shedding.

I notice that they may spend a little more time in their hides and can be a bit more jumpy when the shed is approaching.

Thanks Daniel, I was just about to add that. My girl is in shed right now. I always know it's coming because she doesn't do her routine cruising at night and rarely even pokes her head out. She usually hunkers down, and when I see her out again I go looking for a shed and usually some other present as well.

My new little het hypo girl just finished her first shed with me this morning. Geez....she is a hottie She weighed in at 130 grams (empty) too.......all my snakes leave a present with their sheds...all i usually have to do is open the enclosure and get a smell of whats inside and I know someone has finished their shed
