    My baby blue

    Woo Hoo!
    Augie ate on Wednesday, and today when I looked in on him he was fully in blue!!!!!
    Humidity was at 60%....misted just now to give him a little extra.

    Can't wait to see his new skin! I am hoping he will be light, bright, and lemony again!

    Re: My baby blue

    his eyes are clearing today....so far so good!

    I decided not to offer any food until this is over....is that the right approach?

    poor little guy - he seemed so mopey when he was blue! today he's poking his head out a bit and that makes me feel better

    Even if some don't eat during shed, I offer food to all of mine regardless and very rarely have a refusal.

    I usually wait till after a shed to offer again. Its personal choice and depends on the snake. Some will eat and some won't during their sheds.

    Re: My baby blue

    Well, he has not shed yet but he has cleared quite a bit.
    Yesterday was feeding day but he was in his hide showing no interest.

    TODAY he was acting like his old self, in his 'feed me' posture.
    I put a frozen mouse on top of his tub to see if he shows interest (my normal procedure) and he started yawning and reaching for the smell.
    So, I am now thawing the mouse in hot water to give him

    If I'm lucky he will eat today and shed tomorrow
