shed ?

[beardieguy]

i just took my bp out for 10 minutes and im expecting a shed soon hes dull but his eyes arent blue so i took him in the light and i could see his pupils which i never seen before.is that a shed or is it normal to see them in the light?

idk about the pupil thing

but when they shed here are the steps

1) There eyes are blue and body color is a little faded "in blue"
2) after a day or two in blue they go back to normal color but still a little faded
3) around 1-2 days after step two they shed!

yea i could tell the last couple times but this time im not 2 sure

It's normal to see pupils in the light. However, right after a shed the eyes often look like "bright shiny marbles" so it may be easier to see the pupils then.

it's definitely always easier to see them in the light.

ok well his color is still a little dull today but he still poked his head out when i got home from work and his eyes still look normal.i have one side of the tank that hes allways on at 65 percent humidity for the past week and a half and i left the other side at 55 percent just incase it is a shed or not hopefully i will figure this out soon.also do they usually do twosies before or after a shed cuz he took the biggest one yet last night

They will often leave you a "present" right after a shed or the day after.

Hi,

It does seem to make them drop a log yes.

Have you checked in the hides to make sure there is no shed in there?
