Shedding Question

What is an average or appropriate amount of time for a snake to actually shed once they've been in blue?

I'm sure each snake is different but my snakes take an average of 7-10 days for the entire shed process. They're usually blue for 4-5 days then they clear up for a few days before they shed.

Every snake is different and you have to assume you may have missed a day or two. I've had them go a few days between when I noticed and when they shed (babies for example seem to do this) while some will take a week or two (older adults).

She shed sometime last night and looks greaaat!! Ill try to get some before and after pics up later. Was a total of about 12 days from first signs of going blue till I found the skin.

A little before and after pic....kinda hard to tell with the cell phone camera but her colors are night and day different.
