Came down this morning to see sal all curled up in her warm hide. Had a wee look in her damp hide and saw this weird looking ball of stuff. Thought it might be a urate ball at first but closer inspection revealed it to be her old skin!! All rolled up into a ball!!! She seems a lot happier now its off and it all came off in one piece. Gave her a good look over and theres no wee bits of skin left at all!! Here she is enjoying a wee wander about:
Forgive my bad camera skills. Took this on the camera phone but will get some deent pics up soon. Shes now almost 3 months old now and is the best snake I could ever want as a first snake :-)

Congratulations :) always a worrying time I am watching my CB09 hatchling whilst she goes through her first shed in my keeping, she keeps moving from warm to moist and although she has gone through the blue phase has still not shed but she amazed me by taking food ! Can't wait to handle her again :)
First shed..
