Hi,
I posted a topic a few days ago about shedding and you said my snake was going to shed because of the milky/blue eyes and "darkening" of the snake.
Well i was at the pet shop the other day to buy some moss and instead on the wait to the til i saw a nice moss hide that came with moss so i took that instead. Anyway, i've been checking in the cage twice a day, once in the morning and once before i go to bed. And the other day my snake was in its little "corner" of the viv with really blue eyes i was like... ok i "think" thats normal so hopefully going to shed someday soon.
Anyway the snakes eyes arnt that blue anymore but she is still quite dark coloured and i havnt seen any shed in the viv what-so-ever... I just wondered if this is normal in the shedding process or if she is ill?
Regards,
BBBlake |

| Its normal for the snakes eyes to clear up 2 or 3 days before shedding. |

Fantastic, thanks for such a quick reply mate your a bloody star lol!
So she should be due any day now?
Also i moved the false bush to see how she was doing, and she moved towards me tounge flicking as if it was feeding time, is this normal because she is blind or partially blind during shed and has to rely on her smell to move around?

Yeah she should shed within the next week mate!
And yeah that is fine, she was just being nosy of your smell!
Did you try and feed your snake during shed?
If not it maybe worth trying it once, cz both my snakes eat fine during shed lol! |

Hun from all your posts I've read the last couple of days you do seem to have done your homework, and you certainly seem to want to give the very best care to your snake! Don't feel bad about asking questions or making mistakes As for the colour, yes they do return to 'normal' for a couple of days after the 'blue' phase. And most of mine will eat during a shed, but then sometimes not, depending on how they feel. It certainly wont hurt to offer them something during this period, and if it eats great, if not don't worry and try again after |

that read like a bit of a harsh response there, can you try to either make response seem less harsh, or don't respond.
I've only ever read 2 caresheets that say about the eyes going clear again after blue-eye, unfortunately not all caresheets will hold ALL information possible. |

| No worries Blakeyboy (I know I changed your nick lmao), a lot of this stuff is just trail and error for a first time owner - but I really respect that through your 'trials' you really don't want to make any 'errors' to the detriment of the care of your snake, and that makes you a top class snakie owner in my book! I still ask questions and I bet owners that are more experienced than me do also - getting the basics right it imperative to the welfare of your pets so it's always better to ask around and be sure. I've had a snake for over two years that I thought was one thing, and only found out on here the other day he was a completely different morph! lol. Many of the books/care sheets I've read seem to have differing info about certain things anyway, so it's best to get as much info about stuff as poss from different sources to help you make the best decisions in snake care! |

Hi all, i dont really tend to take much to heart now-a-days, and i gathered that you could have had a bad day, and dont worry, i kinda like it when people chop and change and give me new nicks.
And thanks for that Cherry, it really gives me that.. Ooomph (if you get me lol)
Thanks all and happy keeping 
Regards,
