First shed in my care!
My 7th month old BP Kilo has been showing signs of shedding (Milky blue eyes, limited movement etc...) I've been changing the water regularly and I moved it closer to the heated side of the terrarium to help with the humidity, I havnt held him in about 36 hours. Sunday morning he wasn't showing any signs at all, Sunday night when we got home from the expo his eyes were completely blue. Today I changed the water and all that and noticed his eyes were a lighter milkier color than yesturday. So im assumming the blue will be gone soon.
Is their anything I can do to make him shedding any less stressful than it has to be? Any advice will be appreciated!

Just keep the humidity at 60-70% until he sheds and he should shed. When he finishes shedding, check the head of the shed to see if his eye caps came off. If they didn't, I would do a search on eye caps and find out how to get rid of it. Also, make sure the shed is complete, no seperate peices.

Soak him to make sure he gets it all off. If the humidity is high enough, he should shed perfectly.

There has been a couple times that ive looked in his terrarium and he's had the bottom half of his body in his water dish.

That's good, that means he's almost about to shed. Just watch his humidity and all should go well.
