Even in blue...

Even in blue this beautiful girl glistens...she just shed on new years eve, and is back in blue again...i chose to skip her feed this week, since she didn't seem to be hunting...will wait till she sheds...hoping the 3rd time is a charm for a clean one! she seems to have issues with shedding the skin on her nose...both times she shed with me I had to help her get those off...wonder if she had a previous injury from rubbing the screen in that tiny tank at the pet store? Don't notice anything different, but it's the same spot both times...

Re: Even in blue...

She's a looker for sure! Good job with the humidity, keep that up and eventually this issue should fix itself. BTW, try adding a shed rock for her to rub up against, sometimes that helps.

Re: Even in blue...

How beautiful. I'd never own one because I feel that it's too dry here in Mass. but I love seeing them. They are one of the most beautiful snakes in the world.

Re: Even in blue...

thank you it is pretty dry here, too right now...but the eco-earth helps that quite a bit...its really no struggle to hold it at 80+%...I think the Colombians are severely under-rated...the brazilians are more eye-catching so these beauties get overlooked a lot...

Re: Even in blue...

thanks, Frogman the shed measured exactly 6 feet...Hades should be shedding by the weekend, he is in full blue right now, so after he sheds I will try and get some good pics of them both and new measurements and weights hopefully...

Re: Even in blue...

Well done! A good shed is a sign of good humidity management. Keep in mind, however, sheds will be longer than the snake itself, as the shed skin stretches.
