1st Shed for Baby Brongersmai!

My little blood shed for the first time last night, just about six months old. I tried to keep humidity consistent, but she still did not shed in on piece (two pieces). Shed skin was thicker than some of my other snakes shed skin, especially my SD retic. Can anyone give me an idea of how long before she will shed again? She is feeding well and growing nicely, i just was curious since it takes so long for them to shed the first time. Do they start to shed more frequently? Thanks

A two piece shed isnt necessarily a bad thing, sometimes they get caught on the enclosures "furniture" and rip.

Yes, actually I was pleased with the two piece. Just wanted her to get it all off. Still cannot get over how long it takes for Bloods to she'd the first time.

Guys,
Took photos and compared with before shots and no change in color yet. When she starts to change I will get some photos up. Hopefully next shed.

Glad you got a shed coming. I could not believe how long it took! How active is your blood? I do not see mine out much, but the aspen substrate gets dug up so I think she roots around it night. She is very tolerant of handling, but when she has had enough she gets reckless and thrashes about a bit! Great snakes!

yes i'm looking forward to it and seeing how she does with it ,as for bieng active i never see her unless i happen to be at the right place at the right time when she's going from hot to cold or vice versa ,all i do see is though a nice flat trail from which she has left lol ,i've handled her a couple of times lately but not pushed it too much as she's only took 2 rat pups for me ,she just turned down her last meal ,that i put down too she's gonna shed ,but like you say Great snakes and i couldn't be happier to have a Blood

i'll keep you updated on how the shed goes okay ,her eyes have just cleared today so shouldn't be long now !!

Ok, let me know how it goes. I was surprised how quick mine shed after her eyes cleared up. She did it all in her hide! Like I wrote in a previous post, the shed skin was a bit thicker than I thought it would be and had a light light red hue to it.
