another elementary question coming at you.

my corn is going through the whole pre-shedding process (the first since i purchased her). she got the standard blue eyes and muted, silvery body color.

she came out of the blue phase sometime sunday.

everything i've read states that, after the colors return, it's usually only a matter of a day or so before the skin comes off.

i might just be incredibly inpatient, but i'm beginning to fret. i'm sure that snakes know when they need to shed, and that it's only a matter of time, and that i'm stressing over nothing.

but if anyone wants to reassure me (or let me know any additional info that might help the little snake), feel free to reply. thanks.

yes 2-3 days after they clear up. sometimes i wonder when mine will shed too. i usually mist down their tank and the snake its self when they are going to shed. makes for a better shed. don't worry...anyday now should shed.
