New guy, new to snakes.

Took him out after I got off work and he is about to shed!! Snapped a few pics and put him back, he wasn't being his normal movey self so I didn't want to bother him any more than I already was. Now, I misted him and his tub a bit when I put him back so maybe I will do that twice a day. Excited to see him with a fresh paint job! Hoping for a good shed and here's a few pics of his adorable self!

I'm not very experienced so I really can't answer that for you. However a quick google search says 1 to 2 weeks. 2 weeks sounds long to me, but hey it's a better answer than I could give you. I've also heard 8-10 days somewhere, but I forget the source. I'm sure someone more experienced than I will chime in- as I don't even have my first snake home yet.

Shed is complete! He has one tiny piece at the very tip of his tail otherwise he looks great! I checked him earlier and he made a poop so as I was cleaning that he started to come out of his hide and was checking me out! He appeared to be back to his curious self and his color looked great, I lifted his hide and sure enough there was his shed! Now feeding day tomorrow! :gj:

Amazing animal and great care you are giving him! Welcome to the forum and the reptile nation. :gj:

Still the same amazing little guy and super sweet. Awesome eater! Makes us proud. Just ate yesterday so he is in solitude until tomorrow :tears:
Here's a couple pics from the other day

Wow what a GORGEOUS snake. Calico is such an under appreciated morph IMO, I just think mixing calico in with anything really punches things up. Beautiful animal!
