My snake Reggie started shedding a few days ago, his eyes were blue when I checked him this morning. He likes to hide away in his cave (the ones with the hole in the lid). I have put some damp moss in and its in the warm end is this enough or should I put a shedding box in for him and if so in the warm/cool end? He has been very good letting me handle him while I re-moisten the moss but then I've left him in peace. Any advice would be appreciated, just want to get it right.

once his eyes have cleared again expect him to shed within about a week..........
all mine shed without any help apart from my OAP corn who can't shed without the use of a damp hide

Thanks for the advice. This is the first time I have seen a snake shedding have only had him 4 weeks so was a bit concerned that I get it right. I have now moved the water bowl into the warm end and will keep an eye on him.

I wouldn`t bother with moss hides unless Reggie has problems shedding. I just put a small extra water bowl in the hot end to bring up humidity.

sounds fine, one thing i would change is to put the moss hide in the middle and another dry hide in the hot end
