I went to hold my snake last night and was excited to see her eyes had gone the blueish colour i'd been told was the first sign of a shed. She seemed sluggish and clumsy so i thought it best to just leave her alone.
However i've checked on her this morning and the blue eyes have gone. they are clear and black again. There is no sign of the shed skin. Her scales still look kinda dull (but not as dull as they did last night).
I've only had her a month and this would have been her first shed. Is it possible that she shed over night and i just can't find the shed or did i imagine what i saw last night.
Shedding advice needed bad!
I'm very confused lol

She hasnt shed yet. After their eyes go blue, they go normal again with the body still looking dull. She should shed in about 2 or 3 days.

They'll do it in their own time, usually a couple of days but can be anything up to ten days just to keep you stressing - it's hard but just leave her too it.

now might be the time to put a damp hide in the viv, though it's probably more for your benefit
