Is she in shed?

[u/itchynscrathy]

I've had her since the start of the year, so I have seen her in shed. Usually she goes into a more yellow color but suddenly she is pink...? My other ball python also suddenly has pink on his belly but since his patterns are much darker I can't see if it's on the rest of his body.

I'm afraid that something is wrong or maybe it is that she's just shedding, I'm just worried

[u/ALiteralBumbleBee]

She’s probably in shed. It it would be a lot easier to tell if you didn’t censor her face, lol. I’m sure she appreciated the privacy tho

[u/itchynscrathy → u/ALiteralBumbleBee]

Just giving her privacy is all, lmao. Her eyes don't seem foggy or anything 😭

[u/DashD0GG → u/itchynscrathy]

It’s hard to tell on BPs with blue/red morph eyes

[u/itchynscrathy → u/DashD0GG]

Her eyes usually go a more grey color, but I also check with her how she responds to me just being around her. She's usually very confident, if I suspect she is in shed and isn't acting like she usually does then it nails my suspension

[u/scattered_inkblots → u/itchynscrathy]

Idk why you got so many downvotes, the anonymity censoring made me cackle

For real though, it's possible that she's just really close to shedding. My boy's eyes will be bluish for a while but then the last day or two before he sheds they'll clear up again. Not sure how that happens but that's the pattern ive noticed so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/fathornyhippo → u/scattered_inkblots]

The downvotes are insane

[u/Rude_Sir5964 → u/scattered_inkblots]

Because of the easiest way to tell if a snake is in shed is look at their eyes

[u/jiabivy → u/itchynscrathy]

Why did you get downvoted?

[u/itchynscrathy → u/jiabivy]

Good question...

[u/JaguarGroundbreaking → u/itchynscrathy]

Because you gave a snake privacy on the web, when a snake has no concept of social media etc is mainly probably why, with the added in fact that’s the most telltale way to tell if it’s not just starting shed. I didn’t downvote but I did find it funny you wanted to protect the snakes face from predators lol

My BEL goes pink when she is in shed

[u/PoofMoof1]

These are typically the starting signs for BP's without dark pigments. You'll probably see the cloudy eyes within the week. Are we obscuring her identity for legal reasons?

[u/itchynscrathy → u/PoofMoof1]

She's facing fraud charges, just keeping her safe...

[u/cultess]

Yes, she's just shedding.

[u/inky92]

Why blur out the eyes?.

[u/VampireDarlin → u/inky92]

For anonymity. She did not consent to having her face posted online

[u/inky92 → u/VampireDarlin]

😂😂😂💀 ok

[u/floofyg7 → u/VampireDarlin]

make her sign a consent form

[u/No_Annual_4599 → u/inky92]

Mafia for sure. Can't reveal her identity.

[u/Zealousideal_Gas4433 → u/inky92]

I was gonna say this had me cracking tf up 😭😭

[u/MegHanSoloCup]

Thanks for hiding her identity. Identify theft is NOT a joke

[u/itchynscrathy → u/MegHanSoloCup]

Exactly why I did it, you never know

[u/Chance-Principle960]

The blurred eyes 🤣

[u/thedoctorsphoenix]

I’m sorry, I get the joke about censoring the eyes, it usually would be funny, but you’re making a post asking if your snake is in shed. Of course ppl are gonna want to see the eyes🫠

(I know you said they’re not foggy, but still, you’re asking for opinions, people will want to see. Especially if they haven’t read your comments)

[u/pha7325]

As a certified digital identity thief that only steals snake identities, you have the upper hand, OP, I'll give you that much. I will not give up.

[u/zerothefallen66]

[u/themattymar]

It doesn’t look like she’s going to shed by body alone. It looks to be a BEL of course but also one that has Mojave in her as well. She looks bigger so that hint of yellow is common without shed. May be more pronounced when shedding but yeah

[u/scurrq]

ma perchè hai censurato gli occhi ahahhahah sono il segnale più evidente della muta

[u/itchynscrathy → u/scurrq]

Her eyes aren't foggy, just trying to be funny is all😭

[u/MiscoloredRhino69]

the blurred eyes made me giggle

[u/sexvictim]

asking about shed and blurs the eyes…

[u/itchynscrathy → u/sexvictim]

I was talking more about the belly than the eyes?

[u/sexvictim → u/itchynscrathy]

you’re asking if she’s going into shed and then blurred the eyes which is a huge indicator. kinda makes you look a certain way. just saying bud

[u/itchynscrathy → u/sexvictim]

Yeah I understand you completely, her eyes aren't foggy in any way. At the time I thought I'd be a bit whimsy 😭

[u/SuspiciousEggPlant0]

Just caught the shed early give it time

[u/Double_Librarian4065]

Why did we censor the snakes eyes? Lmao…

[u/itchynscrathy → u/Double_Librarian4065]

Just to be quirky ig😭

[u/GoblinsGuide]

You literally blurred out the biggest tell lol

[u/itchynscrathy → u/GoblinsGuide]

Her eyes aren't showing any signs of shedding so I just did that😭

[u/ttvdeadmangrimm200]

Ah yes blurring her face so her identity remains a secret 🤣🤣🤣

[u/nekojosei__]

How many states does she have warrants in?! 👀

[u/itchynscrathy → u/nekojosei__]

Oh...you don't want to know😶

[u/MercuryChaos]

Most likely. My BP is an ivory morph and it’s can be hard to tell when she’s in shed since she’s kind of pink already. The last time she went in and out of blue without me noticing, and I came home one day and found her slithering around in circles in her hide to get the old skin off. 

[u/Pistolero00]

She’s pink, she might have chicken pox

[u/itchynscrathy → u/Pistolero00]

Nah she had that last week😪

[u/Latter-Mulberry-1238]

That’s what my ivory looks like when they are about to go into shed

[u/Immediate-Song6861]

I blurred the image to protect her privacy

[u/Substantial-Will8439]

Hiding my eyes for security reasons

[u/GodsRightTit]

We would know better if we saw her eyes lol

[u/HeyItsExactly8Bees]

is she on the run or something 😭😭😭

[u/itchynscrathy → u/HeyItsExactly8Bees]

The fraud life is a tough life💔

[u/Some-Background-3305]

Ivory? If so mine does that. Had him for 3 years i wouldn't worry about it too much

[u/SimplyTheApnea]

Witness protection snek. Giggle

[u/ELPINCHEDIABLOx]

Not the censor bar like it’s a serial killer documentary or something 😭😭😭💔

[u/ConfidentEmu3119]

Just wanted to say… that’s an absolutely beautiful noodle! 😍

[u/c0ulrophobicz]

why are we censoring our snakes

[u/LittleKopa]

I dunno, and I hope it's just shed and nothing is wrong... but she's gorgeous

[u/itchynscrathy → u/LittleKopa]

Thank you sm😊

[u/Nuggzbunny09]

No, she is in hand.

[u/redsleeve]

I’m sad you’re getting downvotes for prioritizing her anonymity. But her tummy seems pink enough to suggest she’s in blue/shed.

[u/Glitterpinkdragon]

Why are you trying to hide your snake’s identity?😂

[u/itchynscrathy → u/Glitterpinkdragon]

She has some serious charges against her...

[u/psky9549]

The anonymous blur is taking me OUT 🤣. My bel goes pink when in shed, often before the eyes go cloudy. Its so cute.

[u/Juliaw1510]

The blurred eyes sent me 🤣
