Not shedding?! D:

Hey all,

My ball python looked like she was going to shed, meaning her belly was pink, her skin lightened, then lightened even further. Her eyes turned misty grey/blue, all of which are telltale signs of her about to shed.

However, since then, she's actually darkened up again and hasn't shed o_O

Did I miss something or is she still going to shed soon?

Snakes go through a "clear" stage of the shed after the blue phase. They shed a few days after that but sometimes it can take a while. She'll shed when she's ready.

You'll know if its a stuck shed if they start to get all wrinkly looking.

Ah that part I was ignorant of. Thank you. :)
