    first shed.

    Alright my pastel is going into its first shed (eyes are blue right now), after their eyes turn blue how long does it generally take for them to finish shedding?

    around 14 days, once the eyes turn blue I think they are already 1-2 days into it

    Kevin, your pastel is a baby, so it will shed faster. When my babies went into blue, they cleared up in a few days an then shed within the next 1-2. As they get older, the process takes longer.

    Once their eyes clear up it should be within 5 days. Just make sure the humidity is high so its easy for them to shed. And I like to check the shed skin for eye caps to make sure everything came off
    A room full of empty racks and thermostats that have been unplugged.
