    Re: Snake taking a while to shed after eyes going clear

    But if there's really no shed, give him a humid hide, because you're correct, it shouldn't take 2 weeks to shed AFTER they go "clear". (what is the ambient or lowest temp. in his home?)

    And IF you find that he's truly "stuck" in his shed, I'd put him in a small ventilated container with either very shallow water (not deeper than his "height") or saturated paper towels.

    (Did you feed him while he was in shed? That will make it take longer, & sometimes causes stuck sheds, as they don't all "multi-task" very well- both shedding & digestion requires good hydration, so they sometimes conflict.)
    The ambient temp in his enclosure in around 75 degrees and yeah I fed him a pink about a week ago so that might be it
