hay all

rite every thing im reading suggests that my snakes eyes will turn blue before she sheds but

she has gone quite pale skin wise with no blue eyes just a little milkey looking (i know this can also be normal) so im guessing that she is due a shed any day now

also we have two corns in the house hold seprate vivs in seprate rooms any my snake seams to hide away most of the time... temps are fine feeding fine etc etc even handles well

so any more advise other than the home work i did before i got may snake will be cool

cheers
pete

Glad she shed ok, it's amazing to see the difference in colour post shed! Ours have both shed within the last week, so they're both looking nice and shiny and new! (And growing like weeds like yours by the sound of it!)

ahh thats ok misty is fine

the fact sheets i have seen dont say anything about the snake getting brighter again so thats a usefull tip

thanks i knew joining the forum would prove usefull

same as what kellog has said really,
if your snakes have dark eyes then it is fairly noticable when they are in blue, with red eyes its not so clear as they tend to go a milky pale pink but it can be easy to miss, the best thing you notice is their colours dulling a lot and then brightening up again, usually about 5days after the colours brightening up they tend to shed

this is edison in blue, his eyes are usually a greyish shade


hope this helps

Corns are more active in the evening and tend to hide during the day.
Also if in shed they tend to stay in their safe environment. They also stay hidden while digesting their food.

Firstly with regards to the shed, I know with some snakes - particularly the red-eyed ones - their blue phase does not come out as noticeably as with others. She should stay blue for a few days, go back to her normal colour for a few days and then shed. What type of corn is she? If she is in shed you can help by adding some spagnum moss or misting her viv once a day, just a little bit, to up the humidity slightly.

Secondly, I know you have 2 corns but all corns are different and react differently. Maybe yours just prefers to hide away during the day and is out and about at night. As long as everything in the viv is ok and she is feeding, drinking, pooing etc, I wouldnt worry.

Am sure someone with more experience will be able to reassure you as well.
