Each snake can be different and depending on the environment that can have an effect.
My ball was blue on the 15 and shed sometime on the 21

Re: shedding question
Here's a quick overview of the shed cycle: about 10 days before your ball python sheds, it's belly will turn a light pink color. Sometimes it's so faint you can barely see it, sometimes it looks like a bad sunburn. Then, your snake's color will get really dull and washed out. I have some snakes where I can't detect the pink belly but I always notice their color darken. Then, your snake's eyes will go blue. For most snakes, this is about 2 days. Once they clear up, it can be anytime for your snake to shed. The average is 1-3 days, but some can wait as long as a week. During this time, make sure you keep your humidity around 70% to help them shed easier. If you don't, you run the risk of having your snake have a retained shed or a flaky shed. They should shed in one piece.
