    Second shed in 2 weeks...

    Hi!! The day we picked up our rescued BP, the owner said when he went to pick her up, he noticed she had shed and had retained skin, so he soaked her to get it off.

    We are just going into our 3rd week of having her, and she is pinkish with blue eyes.

    Now, he underfed her by feeding once a month and she has been fed weekly by us. We noticed her head even looks a bit wider already.

    Is it normal to shed again so soon? I mist her tank daily so that it spikes to 65/70% and then it slowly drops during the day, reaching about 40% in the evening and over night.
    Since she's shedding, I moistened her bedding and did a second mist to keep it around 70%.

    Could it be that getting two meals 9 days apart made her grow enough to shed? This won't happen every two weeks now will it?

    And, can I feed her as soon as she's finished shedding?
