I hope this isn't a silly question, but i have never had a snake with red eyes before.
When my snow corn sheds, will his eyes go blue???

Mine tend to go dull for about 2-3 days before going blue, they are then blue for 3-4 days then clear up and shed 2-3 days later. But it varies from snake to snake so just because i have noticed this sort of pattern with mine dosn't mean your will be the same.

how long does it normally take a snake to shed cuz my corn snake, Tango has been looking very pale for about 4or5 days lol :)

Practice! Nelson's eye doesn't go blue/grey like K's, but looks a little "duskier" pink than normal, esp in the light. He loses his sheen and I can't see the yellow stripes as easily. Most importantly he gets a bit twitchier and jumpy. It's taken me 6 months but I've spotted the last few sheds before they've happend.

Not having a snow or amel I cant comment on the colouring of their eyes or body, but I do notice the feel of the skin of my 2 changes when they are coming up to a shed....it is hard to describe (bad brain fog tonight ), but at a guess I would say that it begins to feel a bit drier. I usually notice this a couple of days before their bellies change colour which is a few days before their eyes turn cloudy and their overall body colour dulls.

Maybe that can be of some help in telling when a snow corn is coming up for a shed....the feel of the skin....

Thats interesting, I somewhat assumed that it would be the same as my Amel, whos eyes go a dull pink. Although i have also read from other members that they have found it difficult to tell with their snows.

Mine gets very grey eyes, and the skin gets even paler if thats possible. It can be hard to tell though. I thought that mine was going into shed earlier this week cos he went so quiet (and it's been longer than usual since his last shed) so I put a moist hide in for him, but he's been very lively the last couple of days so I fed him as usual today. Whats the betting the little git sheds tonight and makes a fool of me lol

Nope, they will go a pinky colour but it can be hard to tell.
