    Is she about to shed?

    Hey I'm just trying to verify if my girl is about to shed. I made sure I was real gentle getting her out for the pic and she was nice to me. I've noticed that her head is getting kinda blue/cloudy and now i can start to notice it on her body.

    I can't tell 100% by the pic. Do you have a belly shot?

    If the eyes are/ were "blue" or cloudy then, yes. Also, sometimes when they are about to shed their belly will turn pink.

    her belly hasn't really shown change. Her eyes aren't as blue as her head appears to be.

    If he's starting to look blue, then yes. Have you read this sticky?

    Yea, you can't really tell from the pic, but i'd say its possible because she looks kind of dull. What made me 100% certain of my snakes first shed was that his sides looked really faded and almost blueish. A day or two after his eyes clouded up and i knew it was coming.

    how soon since the cloudyness starts will your snake actually start shedding... like 2 weeks? 1 month? 5 months? 1 year? i have no clue coz my snake's eyes is just so cloudy right now.

    Usually within a couple of weeks if the eyes are clouded over, ours clouded over and he shed all of his skin off about a week later.

    hi,

    our balls usually shed about 5-8 days after the eyes are clear again.
    best regards, Timo
