    It really depends. It could be anywhere from two days to another week. My girl once took 24 days, from pink belly to shed. Lately she's been going about 10 days from pink to shed.

    With any luck, yours should shed any day now.

    Be patient...the amount of time it takes from when they go clear to when they actually shed is variable...could be a couple days, no way to tell you.
    Snake don't watch the clock or the calendar like we do...

    Re: How long till shed after blue?

    Definitely have to be patient bc not all are the same, but in general most take between 3-7 days after the blue stage. I recommend increasing the humidity to 70%. They really need it bc they are building a fluid layer between the old skin and the new skin. Some people recommend increasing temps but I prefer to keep them consistent which ultimately results in a more consistent shed pattern (assuming that you have the temp set right in the first place).

    Dont be too worried on a time frame. I've already had them wait over 10 days before the shed after the blues stage. The important thing is that the get it all off in one piece, especially the eye caps.

    Hope this helps!

    As the other have said, it varies. I would expect 3-4 days, but...could be less, could be more...

    I've gotten pretty good at guessing what day mine will shed. I keep pretty good records and they tend to be pretty consistent. But, they vary snake to snake.

    As mentioned they all vary so much .

    My best tip is as soon as the eyes clear and colour returns then you start spraying the viv well .. morning , noon and night .

    That usually guarantees a perfect shed . I usually find a manly , rolled up shedded skin under one of the hides ...
