My kingsnake has been in shed for a weekend. The blue eye part ended about a week ago. Now I dont get why he isnt shedding. Should I get it off myself? Or just leave him?

a week or a weekend? lol i usually tend to put a larger water dish and the heat source closer to it when mine goes into shed, sometimes a bit of mist if i need to, usually comes off within a week or so though. How long has he been like this exactly?

Week sorry. Stupidness. Lol. Went to go see him he got it all off. But it just took him for ever. I had been misting everyday 2 times a day. But he got it thanks.

no probs lol my corn used to have such trouble shedding and my king with the exact same setup does it no problem everytime lol my BRB does as well but he needs high humidity so i guess its not a problem there lol

whether in shed or not my king lives in his water bowl.he treats it like his own personel jacuzzi.i know he's heading for a shed when he sits up his hot end for up to a week (the only time he uses his hot end),then back to the water bowl,his eyes blue up,then anything from 7 to 10 after his eyes clear up he has his shed.
cheers shaun
p.s.when are you getting your new snake hillary and have you decided what its going to be ?

My king likes to lay under his water bowl. Never goes on the hot side. Maybe for like 5 minutes after I feed him but thats it. New snake is going to be a Green Tree Python. Not sure when I am going to get it. I am going to see Willows first and see what they are like. And look at her snakes! I will keep you posted.
