Do Corn snakes eat their shed? I might sound a bit stupid but my gecko does and I thought Slinky was going to shed and now she looks better and there no skin lying in viv?

Sorry for being a bit stupid but I'm really new to snake keeping.

Thanks

No, snakes don't eat their shedded skin.
If she looked like she was in the blue, they usually clear up and look normal for a few days until they finally shed ^^
So leave it a few days and you'll find her shedded skin ;p

As Spedz said they dont eat their shed. My Tynan went in blue last week and i thought he wasnt going to shed, then 8 days later he had shed overnight so it can take a while.
