So my corn snake is about 11 months and I bought him in september. He's shed 2 times since then. He turned white about 2 and a half weeks ago. I thought he was gonna shed but he remained white for till about the day before yesterday. He's now back to his regular color with a little bit of white on his eyes. Is he in his shedding stage? Or could that have been something else. Cuz I haven't fed him since before he first turned white (beecause he wouldn't accept the food when he was white) should I try to feed him cuz he's normal again or will he still shed!?! Someone please help ha

This is normal! Usually they go into blue, and their skin developes the blue/white sheen. Then they will return to normal. Et voila, you'll have your shed in the next day or two don't worry:)
If you think he might be having trouble you can put a damp tea-towel in his viv and he'll use it if he needs to. Otherwise just make sure you have a log or something else scratchy!

Now he looks as if he's back to normal he'll probably shed within a day or two. Don't worry about him not eating, they can go months without food. He'll be ready for his meal once he's shed but you could offer it to him anytime if it worries you. Won't be long before you have one bright shiny snake!
