I purchased a female ball on 11/28/06 that was in shed, she finished a few days later. Well I cleaned her cage and went to feed her tonight but her eyes are cloudy and she wouldn't eat. I assume she is getting ready to shed again.

My question is how often do growing BPs shed? She is 18 months old and around 650 grams. She has eaten three medium rats since she arrived.

Young ones will shed once a month. Older ones shed a few times a year.

Thank you for the info. I had a Burm. years ago and don't remember him shedding so soon after a shed so I wasn't prepared to see her going in to shed again.
