So a couple of days ago my snake went blue so I was expecting a shed soon looked at him a few days ago and his eyes are normal.......no shed?????
 
Paul... that's exactly what's supposed to happen.

here's how it works... as the snake is getting ready to shed, it's skin gets dull and darker and the eyes cloud over. After several days of this, the snake releases an oil that serves to finish up the loosening of the old skin but also clears the eyes (I guess to help it find a good spot to do the shedding). Once the eyes clear, you should find a shed in the viv in 24-48 hours, give or take.
 
What do you mean he had white stuff on parts of him? Most likely you'll see him shed very soon though.
 
Make sure you look. If your snake is having a bad shed and skin is peeling off in flakes all over thats not a good thing you will need to get some paper towels and dampen them down and let your snake crawl through them to remove all the old skin. Also if this is the case make sure to check your humidity as that is a common cause of a bad shed.
 
have an anery and she is in blue. Her eyes are cloudy and her color is noticibly darker, moved from a silvery grey to almost brown. She has shed 3-4 times since we have had her and have never noticed the color change being as drastic. Is this normal???
