shedding

[Jacko6310]

How can you tell when a snake is about to shed?

 

[mark83]

skin and eyes will look milky.

It really depends on the snake, some show few signs of an approaching shed but most appear dull or dark in colour, their belly becomes cloudy as do their eyes. Also some but not all refuse food. Usually it is quite obvious.

Milky eyes and their coat goes darker and not shiny anymore

what boa and mfreud have said except one of my coastal gets dark blue eyes instead of a milky blue colour. i'd say all snakes are different i have 1 snake i can only tell its about to shed when its colours are really dull and boring

opaque eyes and dullness can also dissapear for a few days before the actual shed ,I dont hook or handle snake during this time.
