My snake peek out this morning, (but he must be roaming at night cause i find some poop in the middle of the enclosure!). His eyes are milky white ! Is it possible to have a second shed so close after a first one ?!? That shed wasnt complete and he still have some skin clinging to him.

I guess he might be hungry

Sometimes stress can speed up sheds, especially if they have mites or some other external parasite. Andy

I agree with snakeguy88. If the sheds are "back to back" I would look for a cause. Injury, mites etc. may be the cause HOWEVER ...
since his last shed was sooo dry and came off in tiny peices I suggest that he was ready to shed a long time ago!! The skin dried tightly to his body and was less evident and in fact this next shed is coming in at an appropriate and timely manner.
I think now it is very important to watch him and ensure that the entire slough is completed properly - then everything will be back to normal. No worries!
