Kaliya finally shed ! :D

[Diaspora]

My 4 months old BP finally shed!
I didn't see it coming though. No signs of pink belly, blue eyes or whatever. She seemed normal. And shed during the night I guess.. Anyway, she shed in 3 parts but nothing left in her body


I saw also that some of her scales were weird. Should I be concerned about it ?




And other thing.. I tried giving her a baby rat since mice are too small.. But she just stared at it and didn't attack.. Normal?
Should I continue giving her mice , or maybe 2 at once ?

Thanks!

Pre killed or frozen/thawed?

Haha I don't think my parents would like the idea of having a rat and a mice home xD I'll see..

Any idea about the scales ? Is it normal ?

Looks like turned back scales from rubbing it on something in the enclosure, most likely during shedding.. I wouldn't be worried about it.

Same thing happened to me last time she shed. It should be fine.

Started eating?

[Diaspora]

Started eating?

yes
I tried with frozen Saturday but she refused it
So I gave her a mouse yesterday
Gonna give her one Saturday too
I'll try frozen again next week probably..
And I think she refused the rat the last time because it might have been too big for her..
