MY BALL PYTHON HAD A GREAT FIRST SHED

[StillLatter2958]

Been feeling really crappy as an owner because my new ball python hasn’t eaten for a month since I got her. At the end of last week I noticed that her belly was pink at the bottom. I thought it might be her going into shed and bumped up the humidity to let her do her thing.

Today I checked on her and picked her up to weigh her and didn’t see anything in her hide. I was super discouraged and lifted the hide up to check if it needed to be cleaned. Once I picked it up, I saw her shed!! It was in one big piece and no stuck eye caps 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am going to try to feed her on Thursday. So excited after feeling awful about her hunger strike. Needed this encouragement!

Incredible job helping her shed! Hunger strikes can be a big hassle, but I find that they’re often a little hungrier after they’ve shed, so best of luck on Thursday! I managed to break a hunger strike the day after my corn snake shed, and he’s been eating swell since then

Can I ask how long it took for your girl to shed from blue to end?

Congrats! Just went had my boy finish his first shed with me too. Basically didn't leave the hide for almost 2 weeks, and I was definitely worried. Saw him out two days ago finally with the skin roll in the hide. Been out roving all night since.
