    Shedding??

    Last time i saw my BRB he looked fine, but I havent gotten a good look at him in about 30 hours because he's just been in his hide since i fed him Wednesday. Today when i got back from work i peeked in and saw his head at the entrance of the hide. I noticed that one of his eyes was a milky color and i took him out to inspect him further. I then realized that his whole body was actually lighter than normal... This led me to believe that he is simply getting ready to shed, but since this is my first snake and he has yet to shed i wanted to get some opinions on the matter. Temperatures/humidity etc. are all normal.

    Sounds like shed. Bump up the humidity to 64% or so 'til shed is completed
