Okay so, my BRB is in shed right now... And that go me thinking, do all snakes have (relatively) the same shed time? Are bigger snake's shed time equal to smaller snakes. Or pythons vs boas? Humid climate snakes vs dry? Etc.

I was just wondering, thanks!!

All different. Younger snakes shed more often than adults due to growth.

No, I mean, how long the shed takes for each snake... if that makes any sense...

I've always noticed after the eyes turn cloudy and they kind of "whiten up" it's usually 2 or 3 days after that. If that's what you're asking.

I think he means the amount of time from first cut to tail out of the old skin.

I think it really depends on the snake

also would depend on conditions in the enclosure-humidity, good surfaces to rub on etc.

My Rosy Boa just finished her shed last night, it was a tough one for her but from blue to complete shed was almost 2 weeks, but my Spotted Python did his last shed in a week, My corn is about 5 days
