Mmmm BEER.
how long dose it take for an adult to shed? mine went into blue on monday cleared up thrusday and hasnt shed yet is that normal? the humidity has been around 65%
 
Yeah, as said, each snake takes a different amount of time. But yours will shed soon, over the next few days.

mine is showing all the signs of shedding right now should be any day now hes about 5 ft so im hoping for a good clean shed myself anyone have any good tips on how to help him out?
 
Lykinst:
Keep the humidity up.
Add a moist hide.
Do NOT pull on the skin...he will take care of the rest.

Redneck:
Great to hear the shed was a nice clean one!
How about a pic of your snake too:)

Damp sphagnum moss works great!
Stuff some in his hides and he should fare well.
I also add a plastic deli container with a hole in the top and a pile of the moss in it, They love to crawl through there!
I also add an extra water bowl.
We have extra dry air with the heat running all winter....
other climates where you are not running heat etc or have not had a shed issue do not need this amount of added moisture, there can be too much of a good thing as well.
 
thanx for the advise also i saw that you have a tortoise i have a six year old son who loves my snakes but i think he,s still a little to young for a snake i know if it was to ever strike at him or bite him all hell would break loose with his mother so i was wondering would a tortoise make a good pet for him? are they pretty easy to maintain? are there ever any instances where they would bite?are they expensive to raise? i would appreciate any advise you might have on the situation thanx for your help.
