Ball python hasn't started to shed yet

Hey guys got a newbie question my ball python eyes cleared up 3 days ago and he hasn't even attempted to shed the humidity is good it's about between 70 to 75% temps are good this will be his second shed for me seemed like the last time his eyes cleared he went right into she'd the next day this time 3 days ago his eyes cleared he hasn't even attempted yet to shed is this normal should he also has never missed a meal

Thank you

It can be a few days before they shed. Are you absolutely sure that he hasn't shed yet? I've had a few snakes have stealthy sheds where I didn't find the shed until a few days later when I was cleaning the cage.

That's the thing he looks all clear to me like he shed and I cleaned his tank today and didn't find anything actually eat for me today also .... Unless he eat it lol idk what could of happen he eat for me today also .... It's just I noticed a lot last time when his skin was ready to come off he just looks so normal idk what happen to it if he did shed

How long does it usually take to shed completely ?

The shedding process should take about a week. But it isn't an exact science.

Once my snakes eyes clear it's usually within 2-3 days that they shed. My pinstripe just shed today and her eyes cleared two days ago.

My Pied's eyes just dulled yesterday and todays her entire body is dull. I'm figuring she'll shed in about a week. She didn't eat today either, but my pinstripe will eat straight though an entire shed cycle and not miss a single meal. All my other bp's will refuse during a shed.

I mean he doesn't seemed stressed or anything he eat for me yesterday it's just weird idk if he's just not feeling like shedding idk if they go through the eyes thing and just decide not to shed

The whole cycle takes about a week.
The eyes turn blue and the belly turns pink then clears up. After the eyes clear, it can take about 2-3 days for the snake to actually shed it's skin.

It's rather obvious to notice whether or not a snake has shed. They look very dull before shedding and very bright and overall cleaner afterwards.

Still no shed and this would be day 4 after eyes cleared..... He eat for me normally i took him out over looked him. He skins is nice and smooth and soft.... looks like a fresh set of skin lol... Checked his cage for skin no skin all i can do is scratch my head lol
