Snow Shedding- Day by Day

I see this question come up all the time- How do you know when your snow is about to shed? They are much lighter than other morphs, so it is a bit difficult to tell, but you CAN do it! Surprisingly, it is much easier to do in person than in the pictures. I can always tell when Amethyst is about to shed, she just looks "off". So I decided to start taking pics of her this last go around when I noticed her seeming off color. I hope this thread helps others wondering how to tell. Amethyst is a bit of an odd colored snow, but hopefully you can get the idea!! This is going to be a total of TEN posts of pics (I'm actually uploading them to the site so they don't get taken down from pic sharing sites), so please wait to post replies until they are up. Thanks!

DAY 0 - Not in blue yet.

I had to laugh, I have a picture of one of my snows against a bg with purple flowers that is almost identical to the picture in your first post. For a second I was like 0-0 "my picture? Wait, no..."

Your snow is lovely, and thanks for illustrating their shed cycle so clearly.
