Brb ?

Hello All

About a week ago we noticed her eyes were cloudy & her skin. She went under the forest floor for 6 days & tonight she came out & shed in front of us.
It seems that when she sheds she appears to be getting bigger/longer & wider in the mid section. Is this what occurs during the BRB growth cycle?

Thank you

Re: Brb ?

I'm pretty sure snakes shed because they are growing, so you're probably right about her looking bigger. Seems to shed really nice too (one piece). I was supposed to have a rainbow by now, but such plans fell short

Re: Brb ?

I'm definitely noticing my RB looking more "robust" as she grows Google pics of adult ones to see how thick they get.
