She'd been hidden away for a week and was suddenly out around her faun - thought she'd shed but nothing in there so just kept looking every 5 mins or so (was supposed to be cooking dinner lol!). Then one time I looked in and she had started! Called my son in and we watched her, it was fab! All came of in one go, I just need to get her out this evening just to reassure myself about the tail tip.

I did try to get the camera, but no way I was going to get good pics (poor light) and I didn't want to upset her.

She refused her pinky on Thurs which I put down to her having the blues - is it best to offer her one sooner now she's shed or wait until the standard 5 days are up? She previously fed 5 days before, just before going deep into blue.

Did you get any pics of your shiney snake before you fed her?

Ember is now tucked up nicely in her hide with a tummy full of pinky I'm so relieved - guess she's just one of those who doesn't eat whilst in blue!

Thanks guys, I'll try her tonight when I get in from work. Didn't want to push too many feed attempts on her too soon!

Must be great to watch them, I have missed it by minutes a couple of times but my OH and kids have all seen Sid shed, I am sure one day I will catch them. Both of mine won't feed when in blue and I feed them the day after shedding as it is usually well past the 7 days since they last fed and they always gobble it down.
