    Question Hatchling ball pythons first shed-where did it go?

    Hello, I have a very odd question for everyone. My first clutch hatched on April 12 this year and they all looked as though they would start their first shed, cloudy eyes and bodies, all the signs were there. But then I noticed that the first one to start shedding looked clear and I thought that he(?) would shed that night. I checked the next morning and nothing. It's been about 3 days since and still I don't see discarded skin but the baby looks all shiny and bright like he(?) went through the shed no problem. Am I missing something here? Where did the skin go? And if he(?) hasn't shed yet then why? And why is he(?) so clear looking? The rest are all following suit with this bizarre shedding thing and I'm getting a bit worried...help please?

    You'll have a fresh shed in there pretty soon.

    Thanks, I guess I'm being too impatient... I've been so nervous that I'm doing something wrong! Just need to trust all that research I did in the beginning haha
