First shed.....maybe

[MitsuMike]

Ok I have a pastel male that was born on 9/25/09 and has eaten for me 3 times now. The last feeding was 12/22 and he normally eats 2 f/t fuzzy mice to total 10 grams which is around the ball park of what he needs. (getting bumped up to 3 til I finish the box then being moved to adult mice)
Anyway, on the 12/22 feeding he only ate 1 f/t fuzzy and the next day I noticed he was a "ghost" color and was going into shed with the cloudy eyes and what not. Then the next couple days he has had the blue eyes but not really blue like the pics. Well I go to take a look at him after going over "The Shedding Process" sticky and see he doesn't have a pink belly (now) and seems to be back to normal just alittle darker and his eyes are fine (alittle cloudy but not much at all). Now I know they go through this stage but is it really that different from the "ghost" appearance they used to have. I feel like I'm losing my mind over here.
Is there anyway he already shed and ate it?? I know geckos do but do BP's? Also he's been ALWAYS in his hide (he's in a 6 qt tub). He normally chills on top of the hide at night but he never leaves his hide now. Does it he just feel vulnerable or something?
Thank you in advance.

LoL Bp's don't eat their shed....The shedding process can take a week or more from start to finish. They will go blue for a few days, and then clear up and look "normal" then they will shed.

Should be good to go. If he/she has any retained shed after, just use a wet washcloth and rub over in the direction of the scales.

Just keep doing what your doing and your buddy will do the rest

sounds like you are good to go. I know once Elizabeth took 9 days to shed after her blue period. I was starting to think I was crazy

Haha yea that's what I was thinking. Atleast I'm not the only one.

Ok well today/last night he turned a ghost color. He is acting sorta weird when I open the tub like knowing where to hide his head. Is it just because he is about to shed and feels vuneralble or is it more than just cuz of the shed?
