    Re: Hatchling Shed ?

Its been a while, we had BPs about 10 years ago but never paid attention to that stuff, no internet, no books, just some snakes with astro turf and mice, lol. So what are the correct things we need to do to help with her shed, ie; humidity, water, stuff like that. Do we raise or lower temps or keep them the same?

    I appreciate your reply
    Yes it sounds like it's getting ready for a shed, you don't have to fool with the temps at all, but I usually like to spray them down with water when they're blue like that. It raises the humidity and makes it easier for them to shed. Humidity shelters are also nice at this time, it's just a plastic hide box (like a shoe box big enough for them to get inside completely) that's filled with some damp sphagnum moss. good luck.
