Albino BP shedding...

[SVT Wylde]

Hello! I recently found this forum on the web and it's great! I just rescued a 3 year old, 26 inch, 275 gram albino BP and I'm getting him on a regular feeding schedule and trying to put some weight on him.

I've had him for about 3 months and I recently woke up and found his shed in his enclosure. I was surprised because I had no idea he was going through the shedding process. He ate normally, wasn't defensive, and since he is albino I didn't see any indications of shedding.

What are are some signs to look for when an albino snake goes into shed?

I have the very same problem with my pair of HC Albino Royals .... I just can't tell by simply looking - when they're in shed .

The tell-tale giveaway for me is that my Royals are all active in thr evening as they have branches and stuff to climb around so when they go into shed they basically go and stay in their hides for DAYS and DAYS and then I find a rolled up clump of skin under a hide a few days later .

So anyways as soon as they disappear for a few days I start spraying their Vivs well morning , afternoon and evening until I find the skin a few days later .

Thanks for your reply and now that you mention it, he wasn't very active while he was shedding. I'll keep an eye out for that the next time because had a small patch of skin that didn't completely shed even though I keep his humidity at 60%. I would have sprayed him had I known.
