Oh geez -- is Ruby going to shed??

Again, she looks fine. Unless her skin is in wrinkles and folds when she's stretched out, which I'm not seeing at all. And if you can't feel her spine, then she's obese. And while she's extremely small for her age, she's also the right body size for fuzzies or maybe hoppers.

Shiari, that was not a photo of my snake.

Curious if their skin gets brighter after the milky stage? I swear Ruby is not as pale as she was last Wednesday. She hasn't moved from her humid hide, though, so maybe I'm imagining it. I've barely seen her.

yes, the eyes will clear up and the skin will too.

That's fascinating. Did not know that.

And you think the snake has shed, but you can't find it! The clear stage lasts about 24-48 hours.

Ruby has been clear for at least 48 hours (I'm leaving her alone so I don't know exactly how long)....no shed yet! I think she punk'd me.

The 48 hours isn't exact. She will shed on her own schedule. Don't worry. It will happen. Btdt. A watched snake never sheds, lol.

She did it, she shed!! AND I GOT TO SEE IT! (Well, about 75% of it...not the beginning, darn!) I can't believe I went upstairs just when she was shedding. I saw her going into her cork and thought, "Okay, she's been in the humid hide for 4-5 days now...this activity must mean something." And it was a PERFECT shed! (Kept that humidity at 70%!) A tiny tear where it caught on the cork but otherwise perfect...eyes and all. I will let it dry overnight. So exciting!

And, measured flat, it is almost exactly 32" in length!
