so ive had my corn since april and never had any problems since today i notice my corn shed last night when i went to take out the shed it was in three pieces and as i looked at the tail i noticed there was still shed stuck and i also noticed the was a white pus coming from the opening of the cloacal like i said this has never happened before i haven't changed anything with the terrarium. the only thing i can think of is that i fed it the day before it showed signs of milky eyes and it did poop last night before it shed could this have anything to do with the stuck shed on its tail

I doubt it is pus that you see coming out, it is probably musk.
The only reason he could have pus is if he was injured and had an infection- did you see any wounds?

i read that it takes alot out of a snake during shedding so maybe the added stress of digesting food may have caused him to have a bad shed
