my snake finally got the cloudy eyes, a first for me as an owner, and i was just wondering how long it takes for the shed to be complete and do's and dont's while i wait..

thanks for your help

The next thing you'll notice is that the snake will clear up for a few days, then shed.

My personal rule is that I don't handle or feed snakes once they have gone opaque until the snake has shed. They are a bit stressed during this time. In the wild, the snake would simply hide away until it was time to shed. It really just wants to do the same in its cage. Not that you can't pick it up if necesarry, it's probably just better not to.
