How long after my lilltle corn snakes eyes cloud over before he sheds?
For feeding pre-shed Do a test feed. If he doesn’t eat in the normal timely manner, hold off until about two days after shedding. I say two days because the skin may be too delicate for constriction. Test feed. Your snake knows best; if he is too close to shedding, he will not eat. It certainly won’t harm him if he skips a scheduled feeding. The shedding process is preceded by a period of relative inactivity. This period usually lasts 1-2 weeks, during which time the eyes begin to exhibit a dull, bluish-white appearance. During this period, the snake’s vision is impaired, which causes them to be rather unpredictable and sometimes aggressive. The skin during this period tends to have an overall dull appearance. The underlying new skin is soft and vulnerable to damage while the outer layers prepare to sough away. The eyes again become transparent after 7-15 days and shedding commences. A snake will make use of any rough objects or surfaces within its enclosure to help shed the skin. Shed
