    About to shed?

    We've had our BP for almost a month. His eyes are clouded over & he's looking dull. From what I've read on this forum....Lego will be shedding soon? I'm so excited for him!! =)

    Yes, he's what we call "in blue". Make sure his humidity is up around 65%, or he has a good humid hide. His eyes will actually clear up and then he will shed a few days later.

    What up from the DFW! Yes it looks like LEGO will be shedding soon. Remember to bump up humidity if you can, and that the eyes will go clear for a day or two before the actual shed. Great lookin snake.

    Yes as stated bump up the humidity, be sure to try and not to handle him too much until he's done shedding. Some snakes get stressed out when they're in shed because they can't see that well, so some can get temperamental and strike more.

    About to shed?

    Thanks guys!! DFW shout out! Lol.
    I put a damp towel over the screen & the humidity is 65-70%. He seems to be doing ok....not as active as usual..,but going between the hot & cool side hides a few times a day.

    With the humidity where it's at....should I also put damp moss in a hide too?

    No need. 65-70% should work fine on it's own.
