    Re: The Shedding Process

    She has very fine material for her substrate. not chips or powder. Could the pressing also be from stress?
    I am making a hide for her tomorrow. her current ones are too small.
    thanks...

    Re: The Shedding Process

    Some rubbing against the glass is normal, as long as it's not constant or excessive. If your snake is stressed, I would again suggest it could be due to the temperature of your warm side being too low, not knowing all the other details of your setup. Someone please jump in if I am wrong about this

    Re: The Shedding Process

    Thanks for writing this very informative and well written article Daniel.

    I'm new to BP ownership and have kept a close eye on my snakes hue and eyes and think she's maybe going to shed.

    Her eyes seemed cloudy (to my novice eye anyway, hers are so small right now it's difficult to tell without shining a light in her face and I'm not that inconsiderate) when I took her out yesterday and she actually struck at me, something she's NEVER done (in the short 3 weeks I've had her anyway). Her colors seemed a bit dull but like I said I'm so new to ownership I don't know for certain.

    I'll bump her RH somewhere between 60-80% but I'm concerned if she isn't going into shed will the increased RH cause a RI?

    Thanks again for the incredible write up and pictures.
