    Question Pink Belly One Week After Shedding?

    Our li'l BP shed exactly one week ago (Wednesday midnight into Thursday). Her belly looks pink now! Is it possible to be starting the shedding cycle so soon??? In case the ReptiBark substrate is coloring the belly, I've just removed it all and replaced it with paper towels. It's been clear white this past week, though. How far apart do sheds occur???

    My baby ball started a new shed cycle 13 days after its last shed i thought that was too soon but it turned out fine.

    Sometimes bp's will shed irregularly if they have mites. Do a check of her body, especially her nostrils and mouth.

    I think you mentioned somewhere that Patriot seem so small for his age. He is probably starting to grow finaly if he is getting good meals

    My thoughts exactly! He's finally getting proper sized food and filling out to what a BP should look like, not a thin eel. Still, I was wondering if it's possible for shedding cycles to occur so soon. I'll keep a close eye on him for more signs of shedding. No sign of mites or anything, but I'll keep an eye out for that too.
