    Question Shed timing?

    Hey guys. I'm not sure if you know, but I made a post previously about feeding my BP while shedding. I decided to hold out on feeding him cause he was a bit skittish and I felt it just wouldn't be right for him!

    Here's a little background info on it:

    So I'm a little off on timing. I held him a bit on Friday (May 23rd) and decided to leave him be for a few days that afternoon. I noticed he was very absent even at night time and I hadn't seen him since this last Wednesday (May 28). I finally got my questions answered when I took him out. His eyes were cloudy and his belly was pinkish! I knew he was about to shed. So I got the humidity higher and I think everything is going steady. But today (May 30th), I decided to check in on him to keep a close eye. His eyes were back to normal! Assuming he is truly about to begin his shed process within the next day or two, I'm a bit confused on one thing...

    How long does the cloudy-eye process take? I almost feel like he's gone through the first stage a little too fast. Is it possible for this stage to take only a day or two?
    *He's a Baby, about 7 months.
    *I assume the shedding process began right after I decided to let him be. But it's a little confusing if it
    didn't!

    Thanks guys!

    Shed timing?

    The eye cloudy stage is usually anywhere from 2-5 days. Then it's the clear up stage which is usually a day and then the shedding after he clears up 2-3 days. This is my personal snakes and what I have on my records.
