    Whens it gonna happen?
    Well I got my BP on black friday and this past monday I noticed his eyes hazing over so I knew he was about to shed with me for the first time. Well he lives with me in my apt at college and we made the 2 hour trip home on tuesday. when i come home, i bring his full BIG cage and all just like if we didnt move at all so he doesnt know the difference. Well I have been keeping the humidity up around 70-85% since we got home on tuesday. His eyes are still the hazy blue color and he hasnt started to actually shed yet. I was just wondering when will he start to actually shed? Like from the first day their eyes turn to when it actually happens, how long is it? it there anything else I need to do? I am nervous as this is the first snake i have ever cared for and not to mention the first shed ive dealt with. lol. any advice is greatly appreciated.

    well it is alot easier to explain it this way...... After they go into"blue" they go back to a near normal color, after that blue tinge is gone it is usually within 48hrs they shed
