Yesterday i was holding my normal female ball and she started pushing her head on my leg it was strange i was starting to think something was wrong with her and she did it a few more times. After a few times i noticed her face peeling about that same time she pulled her fatest point through my fingers and starting shedding there also she started and completed her shed in my hands i thought it was kind of crazy anyone else have this happen before?

Oh yeah, It's great isn't it? I've had that happen a few times so far. You can actually help them along with shedding. Mine seem to enjoy the help. Hold their skin tight against their body as the move out of it.
