SO Cy has been cranky the past few days. He's in shed but he went into the clear phase a couple days ago. I've been checking his enclosure in the evening for a shed for the past couple nights. Whenever I open the door he starts hissing.

I'm not sure the best way to handle it. The first night I took him out for a bit hoping to show him that being hissy does not make me go away. The next night I just checked his tank, checked his water then left. I'm not sure which is the best course of action. I'm leaning towards just leaving him alone since he is in shed. But I want to make sure I catch the shed so I can feed him. Last time he shed I missed it because it was balled up in a hide and he was off from his feeding day by a week. This time I want to catch it so I can mark it in my notes and feed him as needed.

I'm also considering getting a hook and starting hook training so I can avoid getting bit once he's bigger.

He's my first boa. I'm not afraid of getting bit but I want to do what's best to help him be comfortable.
