Burms...un...shed?

My burm was in blue...cloudy eyes, couldn't see, and looked like she was about to peel any minute. It's been a week now and she hasn't shed but looks as if she has. Her eyes are clear vibrant skin. I searched all of her cage and no shed, What gives??

What is the humidity in the incloser?

Should be around 70% humidity right now while in shed.

Also get your mist bottle and fill with warm water and spray her down.

Re: Burms...un...shed?

sometimes before some snakes shed they go back to looking almost normal, give her some time and i'm sure she'll shed nicely.

Re: Burms...un...shed?

My bp and carpet did the exact same things this month. A few days before they shed, their skin started looking bright again, and their eyes unclouded. Then about 3 days later they both shed.

Re: Burms...un...shed?

I have two small corns one goes from "blue" straight to shed - the other will go from blue back to normal and wait almost 4 or 5 days before actually shedding during which time anyone looking at him would have no idea that he is about to shed.

Re: Burms...un...shed?

It takes my Jungle a week or so to shed after she goes into the blue. I am pretty sure if you keep it nice and wet in there your burm will shed.

They pop their eye caps before they shed...in my experience

Re: Burms...un...shed?

if your lucky enough to witness the whole process mate it usually goes.

snakes eyes start clouding up over a period of 4 or 5 days

after eyes are at maximum blue they then clear up over a period of 4 to 5 days

the snake usually sheds 4 to 7 days after the eyes clear up

this has been my own personal experience with all my carpets.I'm pretty sure its the same basic process for all snakes

you should have a nice big shed soon mate.
cheers Shaun
