    Shedding question
    My Hog island boa is going to shed for the first time since I've had him. His eyes got cloudy about 5 days ago. Now they are clear again but he hasn't shed any skin yet. He has a wrinkle of scales under his chin and it seems like skin is covering his nose holes so he sounds stuffy and opens his mouth a lot. Is this normal? I've been trying to keep his humidity up.. Here is a couple pics showing the wrinkle and what looks like an air pocket...http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/jeqezu3y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/gynavete.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/04/pusy6una.jpg

    Leave him be, and keep humidity appropriate. Boas take longer to go through the shed process than balls.

    Yup. And what you're seeing is perfectly normal. ;)
