hey guys, as you all know i got chihiro on the 14th May
i have her feeding timetable but i was not told when she would next shed, or if she has yet shed, she is now about 6 and a half weeks old.

as she has red eyes i was wondering how can you tell when they cloud and go blue,
will they just go pearly white coloured or more on the bright blueish side?

also when your snakes colours dull, is it easy to recognise or is just slight? does it vary with different morphs?

Thanks guys

It varies with each morph.

I can tell easily with all of mine. They go dull all over. I don't even need to look at the eyes, I can tell from their body.

i was told she is a Amel morph, but shes pink ^^ i uploaded some photos to the other thread, so im not 100% sure what she is, although i think her belly will go quite milky

some signs of shedding are the snake beign less active, blue/cloudy eyes, temporally going off food (in some cases) and dulled colouring. hope this helps :)

As said they'll go dull, cloudy/blue eyes and will probably hide a bit and be a bit moody :)

It's really noticeable when my amel Barnaby is due to shed.

This is how he looks normally......



This is him in blue.....


Sorry about the quality of the pics, I took them on my phone. But you can still see that he goes really dull and, though not visible in the photo, his eyes do go cloudy.
