Shedding question

So My Boas eyes clouded over about 10 days ago, and she still hasn't shed and shes very inactive. Should i be worried? Her eyes now look clear but she still has the purple sheen to her body.

Re: Shedding question

I wouldn't worry Chad. They usually shed a few days after they "clear up". If your temps and humidity are good she should shed with no problems. Keep us posted.

Re: Shedding question

So I officially became a mother hen. She shed last night with no problems. Hopefully now she will become more active. Thanks for your help.

Re: Shedding question

Great news! What happened is perfectly normal, but it's always better to be concerned than sorry -- so well done. And, um, picture? ;-)

Re: Shedding question

Hi my RTB does the exact same thing . His eyes cloud over he lets you know hes blind ,and doesnt mind turning his head to the sky mouth wide wide open and at
a right angle to cage top and a great big leave me alone hiss . But with that out off his mind , if its feeding day he will allow himself to be removed from his habitat to be feed .the next day his eyes will be clear and no ill temper . in fact he might not shed for several days . Last shed happened that way feeding day he had was blind he feed out of his pen , in his feeding tub . The next day eyes cleared up no signs of shed for the rest of the week . Next feed still no shed he feed I noticed a small patch if shed on the bottom of his feeding tub . Put him away checked on him after a bit noticed his skin on his head was starting to come off. I went and got my phone and managed 26 seconds of him shedding before my battery died . I need to change the vids format then ill upload a vid of Prince in the act shedding on my phone cam for 26 seconds .
