Shed Question

My baby RTB just started to get hazy eyes, how much longer should I expect it to shed. Is there anything I should do to help it besides letting it soak a little here and there?

Mine sheds usually 7 days after going into blue. Keep the humidity up a bit during shed, and all should go well.

Just FYI the snakes eyes will go clear before they actually shed. So you'll be wondering where the shed went when you see the eyes are clear, usually happens the next day or so.

also u may not want to handle your snake while in blue cause he/she will pretty much be blind, increasing the chance of a bite

Also, don't feed until after it sheds... the skin is like shrink wrap at this time- putting something in her that would cause her to stretch could cause the skin to break & end up in a bad shed.
