    shedding before first feed

    so while i was changing the water i picked up my guys hide and saw that his eyes were SUPER blue haha, i dont remember my cornsnakes eyes being so blue whn in shed. so i left him alone ( he did look alot more ajitated**) i put in a humid hide with damp papertowel.
    how often should i change the damp paper towel?
    do you think he will get to the humid hide before he sheds? he dosnt move around the cage much.
    thanks

    Re: shedding before first feed

    They don't usually move much while in shed. Actually once they poke their head out, is the normal sign that they've actually shed. Just up your humidity to 70% and pop in that hide. I'd just keep an eye on the paper towel. Make sure it stays damp, but not wet. (gotta watch for mold!) Good luck with the shed.
