the amazing disappearing shed
In the world of fussy eaters and crazy-making BPs, I think we have the winner. Our pastel BP, Haku, is about 3+ years old. He's in the 800 gram range, a bit over 3' long, and will only eat every 5 - 6 weeks. Period. He'll happily kill something between times, but he won't eat it. And only live prey. The last time he was ready to eat, he let us know by trashing his enclosure and overturning his water bowl.
After he fed, he curled up for a long winter's nap. Two weeks after feeding, he left us a large urate. I'm still waiting for the rest of the digestive process to make an appearance and it's been 3 weeks since his feeding. About 4 days ago, I noticed that he'd gone quite milky and his eyes were totally clouded, so I let him be and upped the humidity in the enclosure a bit since his last shed was incomplete and it took 2 baths to get the last of it off.
This morning, I checked in on him. He was shiny and beautiful and very frisky . . . and there's absolutely no sign of his shed anywhere. Nada.
Has anyone else had this happen? Can a shed be reabsorbed???
