    shed false alarm?
    2 days ago I checked my ball python and it looked like it was about to shed. The eye scales were clouded over and the body color was dull so I thought he would shed in a day or two. I checked on him today and his eyes and head were clear so i thought he shed but he didn't. Is it possible for a snake to just stop during a shed?

    You will see a shed in a day or two... Their eyes will clear up just before the shed.

    It goes from clear to dark, to opaque and blue, back to dark and then clear and shed!!:D

    You'll have a shed in a day or two! and a nice smelly surprise if you were good!

    eyes get cloudy, and pink belly
    then the whole body gets grey along with the eyes
    then back to normal
    then shed!
