    shedding process this time around
    i'm confused here cuz the shedding process sticky shows/explains what happens during each stage and approximately how long the whole thing lasts...my girl went into shed on the 19th (or i'm assuming so cuz thats when i first noticed her dull skin & pink belly) but it is now 4 days later & she still has not gone opague yet. i've been checking on her eyes every day. the other sheds she's done i've only noticed the cloudy eyes and would bump up the humidity then and she'd shed out 4-5 days later.
    why all of a sudden has she gone 4 days with no cloudy eyes? they were kind of blue-ish over the top part of the eyeballs the other day but were not cloudy...this morning i checked 'em and they're almost black, like normal looking...do i wait a couple more days to see if they go completely opague or should i note that she already has? her skin is very dull and kinda feels really dry & her belly is still bright pink...
    when i log her sheds i start with the day she has cloudy eyes and end with the day she sheds out and so far it's been 4-5 days like i said and still no cloudy eyes...
    does each process in a shed cycle last longer as they get older? my girl is gonna be a year old tomorrow...if that helps at all...

    Snakes like to work on their own schedules. I remember going to check on one of mine and being completely surprised to find a perfect shed sitting right next to her. I missed all the signs with that one.

    I'm sure your baby will go blue soon. :)

    Yup. The days given in the sticky are just the general tendency, but it's far from uncommon for them to shed faster or slower. It just depends on the snake.

    ok. i thought that might be the deal, i just needed to hear it from other herpers. i'll keep an eye on my girl's eyes and see what happens.
