Re: aborted shed?
what has the time frame been as far as how long he was blue and how long hes been clear? what they'll do is go blue for about 3-4 days, then go clear for another 2-3 and shed.
does his skin look like he's trapped in it? like really wrinkly and kinda white?

Re: aborted shed?
Yup. Completely normal. The eyes will clear up, and about 48 hours (give or take) after that you'll have a shed. You can't miss it.

Re: aborted shed?
My guy had this happen a few days ago. I let him soak in some warm water for about 30 minutes. I put him back in his tank and about an hour later I took a peek in and he was shedding in his hide.

Re: aborted shed?
Don't worry. They all shed on different schedules, but it'll happen.

Re: aborted shed?
Our ball python blue-eyed and looked like she was going shed, but then never did either once...she then shed normally the next month.
Don't worry about it - the snake will shed when s/he's ready. =)
