Hey everyone,
Basically my corn snake shed about 6 weeks ago (26th May), so i am expecting him to shed again soon. But for about the past 4-5 days he has not moved from the corner of the viv, not even at night. He is just over a year old and i have noticed that his skin is a lot duller than usual: which made me think he was about to shed. But his eyes haven't turn a milky blue colour at all. Are there any other signs i could look for that would tell me if he going to shed soon? Also he was fed on Thursday and had two fuzzies and they went down fine. I'm just concerned that there is something wrong with him as i am a first time snake owner and have only had him for about 7 weeks.
Thank you

Sorry if the post is to long

Ok if his skin has gone very dull that is definetly a sigh he is going to shed! Also you may just have missed the blue eye stage, as the eyes clear just before they shed!

Don't panic some snakes don't move at all whilst they are shedding, i mean it would be like you trying to walk around all day with no eye sight! They just don't wana bump into things lol!
