Red bull snake not shedding

22 15:27:10

Question
I got a  red bull snake about a month ago. He's about 3 1/2 ft. he eats well and I noticed about a week ago his eyes milking over right after his last feeding. I know this is a sign that he is going to shed but, I am worried that it's been about a week and he hasn't shed yet. Could there be something wrong?

Answer
Hi Terra,

no there is nothing wrong, it can take nearly two weeks for a snake to complete a full shedding cycle. their eyes going milky is the beginning of the cycle. your snake's eyes will clear up soon and this will indicate that your snake should shed in the next 2-3days.

i hope this helps,

Andy
