Ging has gone a funny pale colour I'm guessing she's getting ready to shed.

Here she is a couple of days ago:

Well, as luck would have it, yesterday evening was viv cleaning time. I went into Stella's, scooped her up and passed her over to Hawk without really looking at her. The Hawk being hawk took about 1/4 second to say, "Mum, she's blue!"

But Stella is a star, she just settled comfortably into the Hawk's palm and from there took a few leisurely excursions around his arm while waiting for her home to be ready. Wonderful snake she is.

Most certainly looks like she's going into shed.
You'll find she clear up again shortly before shedding.

A vast amount of people try not to handle during this stage, as the snake will be near as damn it blind, so some will only perceive things approaching them as a potential threat.

Hopefully you'll get a nice complete skin from her. :)
