    Possible to go out of shed?
    Hi, I was just wondering if once a snake began showing signs of shedding, ie. pink belly, darker skin. Can it go OUT of shedding once its started this cycle?

    No.. But lower humidity can extend the amount of time it takes to complete the process

    Never heard of that happening, no. But...it may appear to "go out of shed" because the "blueness" will clear up a few days before the actual shed takes place. This confuses some people who have never witnessed the phenomenon before.

    if you snake is doing this it might be about to shed. before they shed they seem to clear up and start to look more normal, the blue eyes go clear skin clears up some and so on...after a day or two you will have a beautiful shed

    edit : ( got beat to it)

    Thanks. I moved stuff around and checked on her, and I noticed her eyes had cleared up. I looked everywhere for any skin but couldn't find any.

    Normally I leave the snake alone until she finishes and starts coming out at night again.

    She had a great shed last night. The entire thing was in one piece.
