hello guys, im a newb on here i could use some advice please :)
i got an eight year old corn snake a few weeks ago, in the first few days he/his whole body turned white/blue with cloudy eyes and now like a week and abit later he hasnt shed and hes just changed back to normal or what i know as normal
do you think its due to a temperature change or is he going to change his mind and try to shed soon.
thanks for stopping in :) |

| He will shed soon, they do go back to normal for up to a week before they actually shed |

| They also shed to renew their skin, as it gets a little scraggy as they go about their business, and unlike us humans who constantly shed dead skin cells to renew ours, they just heave it all off in one go every few months! :) |

| i dont think hes a scaleless snake i looked online at scaleless and mine has the little diamond pattern when you look close up. my snake has similar colours to the scaleless on my profile its the only one i found that looks the same, but now you say hes gona shed he might end up being darker in colour. i cant wait to find out :) |

| You'll certainly know if he's a scaleless or not lol, I'm guessing you've got an Amel :) |
