Cool,

Word of warning though - it is not uncommon for a poop to be produced at the end of shedding.

So check how swollen she is near her vent before embarking on handling and weighing - you really want to wait until after a poop to weigh anyway.

We call it "empty weight".

And in case this is the first shed do not panic if you see a few streaks or drops of blood after she is finished - it is perfectly normal and would only be a problem if there was a lot and it didn't stop.

Oh and put the camera on to charge etc - they look their best after a shed so it is a great time to get the happy snaps going.
