    Yes. They eyes go blue for a day or two and then clear up again. It may look like nothing is happening but it is. It can take a few days between the clearing-up and the actual shed. Keep the humidity bumped up and try not to bother him....it's likely a rather itchy and uncomfortable procedure!

    With my snakes, it usually takes a week or so to shed. Don't worry, you won't miss it. Like Judy said, it usually take 2 days after the eyes clear up before they shed. Just found a lovely shed this morning myself!
