Shedding Questions...???

Last night and the night before, my common baby red tail boa "TITAN" ' s eyes were white. Now today they aren't white any more. I looked around the tank for old skin, however didn't find any.

What do you guys do when it comes to shedding time???
Please let me know.

Thanks, Paolo

Everythings perfectly normal. They will go opaque or "blue" (in other words, cloud over) then clear up again. BCI usually shed about 4 days or so after they clear up. Just mist lightly around to increase humidity a little bit and you should be fine

Hey Paolo, as soon as the eyes cloud over that just gives you the indication that you snake is preparing to shed, when the eyes clear that should tell you that in two to three days he'll shed so...spray down your tank and wait two to three days and you'll be sure to find a surprise.
