The last two times my boa has gone through its shedding cycle I have not been able to find its dead skin. I am pretty sure that she shed because her skin is not blurry and it is glossy. So I was just wondering maybe if she was eating it , or for some reason she really did not go through her shed cycle for some reason. Her set up is fine with humidity around 55-60 %. Any comments would be appreciated

Hmm.. Well I can't think of any reason for you not to find it but maybe the skin is balled up, thats why your not finding it..whenever my BP sheds it is complete and all together, but balled up in a ball somewhere throughout the cage.. check for smaller pieces than something long..

sometimes you think your boa shed, but you need to wait longer, i have a amazon tree boa that passed trought 2 shedding cycles and shed only one time, but if your boa skin looks like she shed, then look carefully into the tank [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

I've had B.P.'s and boas ball up their skin in their hide boxes. I keep moss in the hide boxes and often times the balled skin will be tangled with the moss and easily overlooked. I've also had snakes shed under the substrate, so you may want to search there too! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

How long has it been since she cleared up? You may have a day or two to wait yet, just give her a couple of days and check again.
