Hi all. I have some questions about shedding when it comes to bps and western hognose. Let’s start with my nearly 4 year old BP:
He went on his longest fast this year of 8 months. He shed on March 13th and took his first meal last week since September. His shed on March 13th was horrible, nearly all of it was stuck. I have a digital temp/hydrometer with a probe and one of those accurite remote thermometer in my bps T-8. At the time of the shed, the probe thermometer read 70% humidity. Could it be that it was too high? Also, it looks like he’s going into shed again now. His eyes are a bit cloudy and his colors look duller than usual. Is that normal after taking their first meal in a while?

Similar question for the hognose except she just shed 12 days ago. It was a perfect shed and she took her first adult mouse the day she shed. She usually is a great eater except when she’s going into shed. I’ve offered twice since her last feeding and she refused. She’s been hiding a lot which is her normal shedding behavior and her colors look a bit dull too. Is it possible she’s going into shed again in such a short period of time? Last weigh in for her was middle of April and she weighed 158 grams to give you an idea.

All heat sources are regulated by a herpstat 2. BPs ambient are usually between 78-82 and my western hognose ambients are usually 75-78. Hotspots are in the desired range. Thanks all for any responses!
