Well now that she's eaten her pinky, I felt its time to handle her for a few minutes while I snap some pics... and discovered that she's going to shed pretty soon (her eyes are getting a blueish tint). She's kinda flighty but once I held her for 20 seconds she calmed right down.
How long does it usually take snakes to shed after their eyes turn blue?

Hey Andy,
Very Nice Snake.
She should stay in the "blue" for a couple of days and then clear up and look fairly normal for two to four days and then shed.

Rat snake. What stock is it?
My albino usually takes between 10 - 14 days to complete a shed.
Here is a pic of mine, he is a '02 Dwight Good stock.
I don't know what stock she is from, as I got her from the East Bay Vivarium in Berkeley, CA. I do know she is het for patternless though. I like your snake, she looks brighter than mine.
