I do find that odd, but it's happing at my house too. I've only been a BP owner for three weeks. I own two BP, Jackson, which came to us on 1/25/12 and Paisley which came to us on 2/3/12. Paisley just shed yesterday, and Jackson turned blue yesterday. No wonder he is was being a jerk this past week. Duh..... The only one who has'nt showed a sign of shedding is Jack our corn snake. I'll be willing to bet he goes after Jackson gets done sheddig. lol
