Well, with me of course. :D
Took her long enough. After 15 long days of me freaking out, she finally sheds. :rolleyes:
She went into shed after her October 25th feeding. I missed the blue phase, but she spent pretty much all her time in her hide and the few times I peeked in on her (after awhile I was getting concerned that maybe she found a way to escape) she was very dull in appearance.
On November 2nd, despite hiding and being dull looking, I figured I'd offer her a pinkie. She gulped it down with gusto and was pretty much a no show after that. I did find poop on the opposite end of her tank on Saturday so I knew she had to of been out of her hide.
She continued to hide and I had decided that last night, I'd offer her another pinkie whether she had shed or not. Turns out, she did!
I was surprised to see her out and cruising around. While she enjoyed her pinkie in her feeding tank, I found the shed wrapped twice around her fake plant and stuck to her wood hide. To my delight and relief it is a perfect shed complete with eye caps and the tail tip.
Way to go Lucy Inara!
Nice and long. (Didn't bother to measure it since I know it's longer than she really is)

I didn't think to measure her when we got her in October. But I'll be sure to measure her after she digests this meal. :) Might try to weigh her too.
