    Shed Cycle
    I'm a new BP owner and I have a question on the shed, which I can't seem to find an answer for searching the forum. What is the average interval between the time the milky eyes clear up and the skin is shed?

    Thanks. I'm on day 4, temps and humidity are good. I'll seek further advise if nothing happens in the next couple of days.

    I typically read on google within 36 hours. Mine have just cleared up and I'm waiting on a shed from both of them as well :).

    I've had it take up to a week on bigger snakes so don't worry if it doesn't happen today, it will eventually.

    My BP usually is 3-5 days from being in Blue (cloudy eyes) until she sheds. The eyes will clear up first then the shed will occur.:snake:

    She just shed, during the day no less. I was gone so I didn't get to see it but it must have been a struggle. The skin is in one piece but it was in a wad. The front half was rolled up like a condom and the back half was in knots. Thanks for the advice, it put my mind at ease.
