was handling my olive today and noticed a few light spots on her and her skin is really soft. lust wondering if this means she will shed soon as i have not had this yet
any advise would be good

beautiful snakey!
does she look dulll? not as shiny as she normally is? has she started sleeping?
this is a just a guess, my snake goes all dull and goes to sleep for ages before he sheds.

Symptoms of shedding-
Milky eyes
They have a soft feel
There belly can go a bit pink
Just give her a little soak and put her back in her cage and she will be fine

i use a plastic bin for mine coz its got a lid vut anything with a lid will do as long as it is clean.
If u do it in the bath that means u have to watch it and try and keep it in there which will most likly stress it out
so if u have a clean bin or somthing similar will do.
Cheers Alumba
