We've had her a little over 3 weeks, and she was doing great eating a pinky on Wednesdays.
Well, last Sunday, she started acting strange, staying in her hide all the time, she didn't even come out at night. We read a lot on the net and found that that would be normal if she was getting ready to shed, and we noticed that her eyes had gotten kind of blue. Then, last night she shed, I got up this morning and found her shed skin in the tank. It's all complete 
Ok, so now the part that I saw somewhere... someone posted in the previous posts that if we take a shed skin and look closely at it, we can use it for accurately determining the sex. We're thinking she's a girl, obviously.
I haven't counted scales, I'm not sure exactly how to do that part. Just count them from the vent to the tip of the tail? And, what other information would be needed?
The other method someone said was to measure the entire skin and then the distance from the vent to the tip of the tail. In that case, it's 10 inches long total, and 1.5 inches from the vent to the tip.
Anyone care to give a guess? Hope it's a girl, since we named it Ginger!
