1-2 weeks. It's not an absolute period of time. Mine takes 2 full weeks to shed but some snakes do it sooner. You should see blue within 3-6 days after a pink belly and after blue 3-6 days they should clear up then up to 3-4 days after that they should shed.

My BP is a quick shudder. Starts with the pink belly, then 2 days later he's opaque. 5 days later he sheds, like clockwork. It isn't uncommon for the process to take two weeks though. My King and my hognose take longer, usually 10-14 days.

Yup, mine is quick about shedding, his are seven days at the most. He's also very snappy when he's in shed, in blue or not, I call him 'little gator' when he's in shed lol.

Don't worry he'll shed soon! When Khaa first cleared up from in blue, I thought he ate the skin, only to find it in his warm hide a day later with a huge dump in it. :rofl:

Maze takes about 10-12 days from when I first notice her changing colors. Here's some pics of her cycle.

She turned blue on Thursday, and shed sometime this morning, so about 4-5 days after turning blue.

Hi guys a quick update, today is feeding day and I can tell he's still in the process of shedding because he kept on striking the F/T without success and on the third try he was able to gram it and take it to his hide!

Here's a not very good picture but this is the first time I actually see him eating inside of his cave

And he's another picture where he came out asking if he had something on his face
