    Albino Shed
    How do you know when your Albino is about to shed? Does its color just get more dull? My normal is obvious and my albino looks a little lighter so Im assuming its about to shed as well.

    It's not as obvious as a normal, but they get dull and the eyes get dull/lighter.

    Mine also gets a VERY red belly, more so than my normals. The first time he shed with me and I saw it, I thought he had burned himself. I freaked out a little :)

    Well, mine is an amelanistic corn snake...but it's still near impossible to tell when he's shedding. So far he's shed twice for me and both were total surprises. Perfect sheds, though. :)

    I have a terrible time knowing when mine is going into shed.
    I look for him staying curled up tight in his hide ( usually has head peaking out ) he does get a chalky/ashey look and his eyes seem to get a little dull other than that it is hard to tell.
    I guess my signal is the change in behavior ie he acts like my others do when they are going into shed. I really never see them. :)

    I go by pink belly. That's the earliest sign I can see.

    The eyes will turn a very slight lavender color. Thats usually my first indication. When I see that, I'll take the snake out and look at the belly. A pink belly confirms it.
