    Here we go again!!!

    Well, Dax has been slightly antisocial for the last week, but I've been super busy with our new roommate moving in and getting a new job, so I've been checking in on him every morning, and other than that leaving him alone. I did notice he hasn't been out at night hardly at all.
    Well, we took him out to feed him last night, and his eyes are blue!! He is going to shed again!!! I didn't think it would happen again this soon. I guess I should have though, he is a young, growing snake. Well, I'm happy. This makes me feel like we are doing everything right for him. It isn't unusual for a 7 to 8 month BP to shed every 3 to 4 weeks, is it? Oh, and we weighed him last week and he weighs 223 grams. No idea on length.

    I think it was on Anapsid or some BP caresheet but I read several places that a baby should shed every 3-4 weeks for a baby.

    Sounds about right Mina depending on growth patterns. We've had the younger ones we've owned shed anywhere from as close as 2 weeks to 4 or 5 weeks apart at that age.

    Maybe that is why my little guy is striking at me. Maybe he is getting ready to shed? Hmmmm.
