Hi guys I was running late for work this morning but as I was leaving I saw ripley had shed
It was in two halves but looked complete if priced together
But I didn't have time to check her over
Two questions..
If in the worst case scenario she hasn't shed cleanly, will the 8 hours or so until I get home be detrimental to her??
And also when I'm checking her over, how easy is it to tell if the eye caps have come away clean
It looked like they were intact with the skin tbh |

be as she is growing to be honest as she gets chunckier so to speak u will find that the grip will be stronger still. As i say for the moss hide just use an old ice cream tub or butter one and cut a hole in the lid then ur done. unlesss u just want to use the water |

Just got home to her, her eyes were clear but the tip of her tail needed some assistance, I used damp kitchen roll to tease it off
She's a little more pink near her head and very pretty :-)
I thought the pink faded as lavenders got older?
She was a lot more energetic during handling & her grip was way stronger too
Is this connected with shedding generally?? |

I'm pretty sure the eye caps were part of the skin yes
I don't have a moss box tho but she had been thru her water, that's where her shed was lol |

if you have seen the eye caps on teh shed skin then all is fine. Done think the 8 hours will make much of a difference especially if you have moss hide in which may remove any retained skin just have a look to see if anything is still on the snake |
