Symptoms of Shedding

22 15:31:22

Question
My Corn Snake's eyes are cloudy, her skin is much smother and her underside is cloudy too.Are these the symptoms of shedding or stress? Her chips in her cage are damp. Is this causing her stress?

Answer
Hi Caitlyn,

these are all signs of shedding. the damp chips will infact help her shed by increasing the humidity. i would however make sure that the chips in her tank are not always damp even when shes not shedding as it can cause problems.

I hope this helps,

Andy
