    Question I've never seen this before . . .

    Last Sunday I was looking at my snake and its eyes were all foggy like it was about to shed. I had been waiting for this because she hasn't shed since I got her almost two months ago (the pet store said she hadn't shed while they had her either). When I looked at her today, she looked normal, but there wasn't any shed skin in the tank. I've never heard of a snake doing that before and I'm not sure what it means. She has been in her tree, which is right over the heat pad, since I fed her on Sat, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone know what happened?

    Yeah, it takes a day or two (some of my older ones almost a week) before they shed after the eyes clear up.

    This is normal, their eyes get cloudy and then clear up right before they shed. It's all good.
