    Shedding Eyes?
    I am pretty sure Clyde is in shed. He wouldn't eat his normal Friday meal and has been striking at anything that comes in his path of vision as though he can't see clearly as I have seen discribed. I took as best a pic as I could.

    I'm on tapatalk so I can't provide the link, but in the search bar look up "shedding process". There's a thread that will tell you everything you'll need to know for the future.

    Your snake is definitely in shed.

    Thanks for the confirmation. I read the stickied posts about the shedding process. I figured he was cause of his eyes but seeing as how this is my first shed I wanted to be sure. The eyes are a pretty good sign but his body doesn't look any different which is why I was seeking confirmation. Thanks again!!!

    They usually feel a little different when in shed. Not as smooth. And their bellies turn pink.

    The whole body looks different, I can tell how dull the skin is just from the pictures. You'll notice the huge different after he sheds :)

    I JUST went through the shedding process with my normal about a week and a half ago. I came home and noticed that she was very dull. It was very obvious. Then, a couple of days later, her eyes went cloudy blue and about three days later turned clear. Then she shed about 3 days after that. One complete, balled up shed...still wet when I found it.

    Since you know your baby is in shed, you might want to bump the humidity up to around 70% (I misted my normal's tub twice a day) to help ensure that the shed is complete and in one nice piece.

    I have been working on keeping the humidity up. It sits around 55-60% most of the day although last night when I got home from school it was up to 85%. Not sure why it fluctuates so much.

    He peed somewhere in the tank, most likely. ;) 55-60% is fine for a shed.
