Shedding Corn

About how long should it take for my corn to completely shed after he's started? He started about two days ago.

?

It started to shed 2 days ago and its still not finished shedding?
I guess that means your snake is shedding in pieces..which is mainly due to low humidity level.

Shedding usually finishes in less than an hour....

Try soaking your corn in luke warm water for half an hour and help it slide off the old skin.

Having old skin on the snake could affect the blood circulation and death of muscle parts. It could even kill your snake if its a big unshed skin and all~~

Good luck~
