Hi
My small corn looks for the last 3 days looks like its gonna shed its skin.. Hes gone quiet and hides away (as expected) .. Do I continue handling him or leave him alone until he has shed ?
 
I've always experienced that since a snake is so uncomfortable at this time, it's best to leave them be.

I'm sure all snakes are different, but we even had to put signs up at work on each snake that was shedding to ensure no one disturbed them.
 
Last summer I took my boy out to meet the builders literally minutes before he began to shed. Didn't phase him one bit :)

As a rule, they prefer to be left alone, but you might find yours is ok with being handled all the time. I personally don't handle mine until his eyes have cleared, I think it's only fair that he can see me coming!
 
Mine is about to shed to and i want to hold him, i think that he will probably shed tonight or tomorow so i will just have to be patient as well.
