So, my girl's an albino, and it can be crazy hard to figure out when she's going into shed. She just finished up a shed, but because I didn't know she was getting ready to shed and she's a bottomless pit, I fed her just a few days before. I know that feeding while they're in shed can mess up their shed, and I'd love to hear if you all have any tips for knowing when an albino snake is "in blue" so I don't repeat this mistake. We got lucky this time and her shed was perfect (she's growing like a little weed!), but I'd rather not chance it again in the future.

The only way I can really tell when she's about to shed is if I'm holding her, because I'll be able to actually feel that her skin feels different. I'll also be able to tell if she's looking wrinkly or gets that bent-scaled look they sometimes get right before a shed, which can be hard to notice before feeding her just due to the dark room. Those are both things it's really easy to miss on feeding day, so I'd love to hear if those of you who own albino snakes know of any other tells.

I know some people say albinos get cloudy eyes too, but on them their eyes turn from pink to orange - I'm red/green colorblind so I have no idea about that one!

And this is a question you all probably won't know the answer to, but - I always warm up her food in water and she gets it while it's still wet, so do you think the extra water from that helped to balance out what it takes to digest a meal? If that's the case, should I even worry so much about accidentally feeding while she's in shed, or did we really just get lucky this time?
