    Anyways, I was wondering, is there a general length of time that it takes a snake to shed its skin? Super Hypo's eyes very much "blued". Basically I'm wondering if there is a general time frame until I see her start rubbing/shedding or if shedding just varies from snake to snake? or shed to shed..





    Thanks!
    Great question actually. There is not an answer that is gospel however, I have found after my boa goes blue, its about 5 days until the shed. The actual FULL process takes quite a bit of time and sometimes we don't realize the changes immediately. The blue phase is in the middle of it all.

    You will notice the snake will clear up a day or 2 prior to the shed and then, boom!! New bright colors!

    Keep a log of when you notice the blue eyes and then when the shed happens. Have fun!
