Our corn snake is starting to shed - his eyes are cloudy and "blue" and his coloration is very grey all over. The odd thing is that he's making a sneezy noise, puffing or popping air out of his nose. We are wondering if this is normal or if he's having a problem. We are brand new snake owners. Help!

It's normal! No worries. One of mine used to always do that, and it always worried me, but it will go away after he sheds.
Thanks for your help. It's a relief to know that it's normal. Can I ask another question? Based on what I'm reading here in the forums, it sounds like you shouldn't feed your snake when he's blue. But he's already gone 10 days and he's just starting the process. I don't want to starve him, and we've been thinking about feeding him more like once a week because he's on the small side. What do you think we should do? Should we wait or feed him now?
