Congrats :D It's always a good feeling when they shed/feed for the first time in your care!!
Nice, whole shed too! :)
 
Thankx!! I was so glad it was whole!! I know its like my x-mas was early this year im so happy!! hahaha!!! the small things that make me smile!!!
Must say I think i was just as happy when she had her 1st feed with me 2!!! Now there is no stopping her!!! Im so glad I have her as she is no fuss at all now that Iv got everything set up how she likes it!!
 
Nice, my new jungle shed the first time with me at the start of the week too, you've got to be lucky to catch a shed, been keeping snakes for 6 years and only seen it in the flesh a few times, most of the time they shed at night or in the early hours of the morning from my experience. Next time you notice a shed coming on and the chin rubbing starts, grab a chair and hope the snake does its thing
 
;) All keepers love a shed, nice fresh birthday suit afterwards. Pics please darl of the beast :)
 
Thanks everyone!!! I cant stop smiling im so happy!! hahaha!! I didnt see her eyes go milky but she refused a feed last week so I thought she might be shedding! I thought id let her be as I didnt want to upset her or anything!!! Im so glad I was right!!!! YA!!! im going to have a drink now, its 5pm some where in the world right!?! ;)

Here she is now in her new skin!!!!:D:D:D

She was looking for food the min I opened up her enclosure!! hahahah!!! Do you think I should feed her now or w8 a few days??

Cool!! Thank you! I will get her dinner ready now!!!

Yer I love her! shes so darn cute!!! hahaha!!!
 
Mine always eat straight after a shed generally they missed a feed the week before so getting them to take it isn't an issue, some show more signs of a shed then others, my childrens and spotteds would go milky all over for a week, clear up for a day and then shed, where as my jungle only goes slightly dull for a few days before a shed
