i'm living in sf,ca for college, but i go home every weekend to do laundry. i left for a day and left my bp here, i came home and noticed her colors were duller. this was on sunday. i didnt see her eyes cloud over. i dont see any signs that she's trying to shed, but i bumped up the humidity and soaked her for around 15 mins yesterday. anything i should know/do?

Yes - it's most likly somewhere in the shed cycle - There is no need to soak your snake unless they are having a difficult time shedding, have peices hanging off of them, etc. I'm not sure where people learned this helps them, to soak them is stressful and as ironic as it sounds dehydrates them both make for more difficult sheds. Make sure you have good humidity for the next few days until it's shed it'll be fine.

She beat me too it lol. But yea, just slightly increase the humidity and the ball should sell soon. Also, sometimes they'll get dull like that a day or so before they're eyes cloud over, nothing to worry about.
