    For all of those who offered advice and kind words when I was freaking out about Wolfgang's wrinkles, thank you. After his vomiting and starmom's comment on my micromanaging, I disinfected his enclosure, introduced a humid hide and took some other minor husbandry tips to find him in his hide with cloudy eyes.

    Hooray!

    This is all so good!!!

    Keep checking temps, keep the hide humid (but not too humid) and your snake will soon shed. Make sure to check the shed for eye caps and the snake for any leftover shed, especially on the tail tip.

    Make sure to keep the snake off food for the 14 day period and then start with a smaller than normal prey size and very gradually, over weeks, work up to a normal prey size. Feed every 7 days.

    You've been amazing with the honesty of your questions and your openness to learning how to best take care of these fabulous animals that we've invited into our homes and our lives. I'm proud of your accomplishments.

    Now, step away from the tank and quit micromanaging :P

    So, the shed should not have 'spectacles', right? It should have actual eye segments?

    Yep. They'll have little circles of skin and it will be obvious that it is the skin that covered the eyeballs :gj:
    I knew you were going to ask.... ;)
