Shedding Question

[Luvit73]

Morpheus is entering his first shed . His eyes were all blue , now since yesterday morning , they are clearing again . Yet , I still see no skin shed in his house . I read that their eyes clear before they actually shed - but how clear do they get ? Also - how long now , before the skin actually starts to come off ?

Before the shed comes off the eyes get clear again, but they lack the luster of post shed eyes and skin.

For Issa, it's usually about 2 days after his eyes have "recleared" that his skin acutally comes off.

Ok , thanks ! I can't wait to see it , and him in all his glory again . lol

lol, my snake just shedded, and it was a little scare to see the skin at first! But then again, it took me a second to realize what had hapened. the skin looks so neat! I kinda saw some of the markings real dull in the shedded skin. I would definatly take a real close look at the shedded skin, looks really neat IMHO. Best of luck!

Morpheus's eyes have been clear for almost four days now , and he still hasn't shed ! Is somthing wrong ?! He's also been sleeping alot more than usual , spending most of his time in the cool side hide ! Are these things normal , or is somthing wrong ?!

Nothing is wrong.

As long as you have the humidity up to where it should be, he will shed when he is ready, just be paitient.

Ok , whew . lol Don't mean to be a worrywart , but almost everything I read said they shed two days after the eyes clear . I've been keeping his humidity between 75 - 85 % , depending on how soon the towel dries . That ok ?

That humidity is fine

Sounds good to me. Two days after is just a generalization. I've seen them go as long as 5 or 6 days before they shed after the eyes clear up. Good luck and make sure to get some new pics
