So I got my first BP last Saturday at the Daytona Reptile expo. She is a beauty and I instantly fell in love with her. She weighed in at 89g. She ate a live rat pink (what she was used to getting) Sunday (the day after she came home). I left her alone completely until Friday, when I picked up 2 rat pinks to give f/t a try. She ate the f/t without hesitation (the spare live was p/k'd and froze for next feeding), yay *happy dance* and weighed her in before feeding at 103g. I waited 2 days after the feed to handle her for the first time. Yesterday we held her for around 5-10mins and I *might* have gotten her out again right before bed time for another 5 mins....oops. Anyways, so this evening I went to lift up her hot side hide to check the probe (she likes to move the probe out of her way) and low and behold I find a full shed! Eye caps and all! Another YAY momentSo..my question..does shedding normally take 7-12 days, and if that is the case, that means she ate 2x and was handled without coping an attitude all during a shed cycle, that's a good thing right? lol. I'll snap a couple post shed pics tomorrow out in the sun light. I'm such a happy BP mommy right now
