    Shedding

    Sometime between monday and today Shinobi went blue, I just found out when I went to hold him (was letting his food settle, fed him monday). About how long does it take a BP to shed once their eyes go blue? I saw the thread about the shedding process but the pics wouldnt show.

    Regardless of the humidity in the enclosure, the shed will happen about 3 days after the eyes clear. Humidity comes into play with how well the snake will shed... I have been bumping the humidity to 60% and the snakes have had great sheds
