shedding question

[fly_grrrl]

I just purchase my first rtb a couple weeks ago and I believe it is going to shed soon. His eyes are a foggy blue color. How do you care for a rtb during the shedding process?

Leave it alone and keep up humidity to the 70's.

Do I feed him? And how long does it take to shed?

The snake should clear up like it shed and then 3-5 days later is when the shed actually happens. Just keep the handling to a min. and don't try to feed. Some will and some won't eat while in blue. Just keep the humidity up and there should be a shed waiting for you when you walk in. Or if your lucky you can catch them in the act. Its amazing

Thanks! Now do I feed him as soon as he finished shedding?

Yep. I usually feed the day they shed. If there is any stuck shed then a room temperature bath is a good idea. Gets off any stuck sheds and seems to make them poop
