*shudder* um congrats on a successful moult!


and Awwwwww!!

Can I ask you a quick question about blue hoggies gmac? I'm assuming that like Corno, their nice dark belly scales go very grey as the 1st sign they are getting ready? I always know ages before Corno's eyes go blue that she's getting ready, but with Ember being amel I'm rarely certain before the cloudy eyes. I'm hoping I get lots of notice with Hogster too?

Lol Donnie!!

Oh right, thanks gmac - at least I know what to expect now! Was wondering as ours has been hiding away a bit more than usual the last few days, but tum is still jet black so thought I must be wrong - will have to just keep a close lookout. Thank you :D

Wow is that spider normally that colour or is it just because it has only just had a moult?

That moult is horrible looking. I think I'd be more scared of that than the spider

Nice hoggie, sorry but am not taken with the spider, won't look so scary when fully grown I think.

Smart bunny - We also find with our hoggie that she seems to be in blue a lot longer than any of our other snakes not sure if thats just her or if all hoggies are like that. Oh and she also gets really grumpy, very hissy.

Good Halloween pics there lol

I'm with you Hissy on the moults. I cried for half an hour after dealing with my tarantulas moult!

Smart bunny - I've found hoggies have longer between sheds and take longer to shed. Their belly scales do go a milky blue/grey colour though

Just a brief message to say thanks for all the tips everyone - I have been 'certain' from his changed behaviour he was going to go into blue, but I also find I always seem to use this as an excuse... but then I'm usually right if I wait long enough lol. He seemed to have become a teenager overnight, going from being up 9am-7pm and then tucked up in bed to not getting up until 4pm and still being out at 10pm :O He is definitely going into blue now as when I checked him last night his tum was just that little bit cloudy - not as obvious as Corno, but definite none-the-less. So he is now curled up in a moist hide and I have a long wait ahead then... and hope he feeds after that, the little menace!

Has your Hoggie shed yet gmac?
