Shedding question

[yankeeslover]

Good evening. I have had my boa now for around 3 weeks. For the 1.5 weeks or so he was always out at night. I fed him 2 weeks ago and I have not see much of him sense. He started shed process one week ago with blue eyes. I have upped the humidity to 70%. Now for two days the eyes are normal but he still is in his cold side hide all the time.
Is it normal for a boa to hide for a week during shed? And is this a normal amount of time to take to shed? He still has not shed yet

Very normal. It will shed eventually.

Snakes don't watch the clock...they'll shed when their body is ready & not before. It's normal...they first cloud up, then go to "clear" (look pretty normal) and only AFTER
that, they shed. Patience...

As above ^

Plus start spraying the viv two or three times daily until you know for sure the skin has come off . I usually find their skins in a messy clump under one of the hide

My Nicaraguan just went through this. He hid for 4-5 days before he got cloudy. He cleared up several days later and 3 more days went by and there was no shed to be found. I offered him a meal last night and he took it without hesitation.

I raise his hide to check on him today and there he is sleeping beside his old skin in his hot hide. The whole process took longer than normal and it seems to vary from shed to shed.
