Shedding???

[Cassandra88]

OKay so i noticed that my snake was in the blue like last wednesday. Since then the hunidity has been up at at least 70% and now its almost a week later and shes cleared up, still hasn't shed and is not in the blue anymore. She does look a bit duller than usual. But my question is how long can it take her to shed her skin now? i read the shedding sticky on here but i thought it would only be a couple of days after she cleared up that she would shed. Also today is her feeding day, since she is not in the blue it should be fine to try and feed her right?

Yea try and feed her, if she refuse's no big deal try again next week. Same thing happened with my boy. Went in blue then 5 day's later he started to shed.

It can take anywhere from a couple of days to a full week after the "clearing up" before the snake actually sheds. Could very well be "any moment now."


You can offer food if you want...just be prepared to deal with a refusal. My snake always refuses throughout the entire process of shedding, so I don't even bother.

Alright thanks guys i was starting to think i imagined her eyes being blue. but i think i'll try to feed her this will be her 4th meal with me but shes NEVER been picky or refused so i'll give it a shot!

Okay well i just checked on her before i fed her and it seems she shed! it was in one of her hides thats why i couldn't see the skin. But it was off all in one piece which is great no eye caps or stuck shed! But she ate the mouse i put in there right away and now shes just hanging out in her hide like always.
