    Shed aggression

    My last shed with my normal was my first and the signs were obvious. She hid, and didn't move but to change positions ....and hid some more while going through the blue phase and such.

    Almost a month to the day she started her last shed she seems to be doing it all over again, but this time she shows MAJOR aggression. You would think she be protecting some eggs or something. And he eyes are not blue and cloudy but silver and almost mirror like. (Like a BB for a BB gun). Is this also sometimes how a shed manifests itself? How do I check the place for potential bathroom goodies when she strikes at me for anything I do?

    This is what she looks like every morning, then hides all day.

    The picture just shows her defensive position, doesn't do the eye color justice.

    They can be aggressive shop shedding cuz they r more vulnerable to attacks. They can't see and only have heat pits so they just see a huge heat signature and have to scare off anything that could be a threat. While shedding they usually won't go to the bathroom, they will typically drop a big one right after. Just make sure ur humidity is about 70-80% and leave them alone. Constantly checking will just add stress
