Hey guys,
just thought i'd share a few pics of my 5 1/2 month old male BHP sloughing...this is the first time since i purchased him off Boa in mid april.
the little bugger put on quite a show as well striking out at the camera, so i only got a couple 'during shots' and then left him to get on with it in peace.
It wasn't a perfect slough unfortunantly, he had a bit of trouble with under his chin and the tip of his tail. I ended up removing the tip myself with some warm water after he showed no signes of trying to remove it a few hours on.
But temp and humidity was reviewed and well the temp may have been a little low (heat mat not heating at full potential).
enough blabbing here are several pics of 3 days before when he was all milky, a couple shots during and a few rushed shots of after in the sun befoe i had to run to class.
before shot 
begining shot: 
during shot: 
After shots:  
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks for the pics | Mine take about 4-7 days after the 'Blue phase' to shed. i.e After the blue eye spectacle turns clear again. I thought this was the norm for most snakes.
Do your's shed during the blue phase??
