I've only have him since the beginning of this week, but he's already settled down nicely. I was meant to get a cali kingsnake, but there was a mix-up that meant I could either wait a few weeks for a cali, or walk home with him. Obviously I couldn't walk away from such a beautiful snake, so here he is.

Oh, well. You live and learn XD Thanks guys, I was wondering if maybe he'd eaten the skin or something.

Yeah , as deadmansfinger says , he wont have shed yet. He will just have come out of blue , he will shed 2 or 3 days later
deadmansfinger Posted - 04/02/2012 : 23:21:09
His eyes going back to normal don't mean he's shed. The eyes go blue, then a few days later return to normal then a few days after this he will shed.

Right, so he's shed now, his eyes have returned to normal and he's all shiny and wonderful. The only issue is I can't find the skin anywhere. I've checked the pipes, in his hides, around the back and behind the plant; it just isn't in there. Not sure what do.

He is a stunner

Aww thats cool. It's always best to be safe than sorry, specially when its breeding season and they try and climb everything and do other stupid things!

I made one out of mesh with the DIY thing from this site :3 He's never gone close to the bulb, but I thought I'd better make it, just in case.

Beautiful snakes :) and I love that overgrown coconut thing!

He's about to shed :D I thought I'd share, because there's just not enough photos of snakes with milky eyes on this forum :)



Oh, and here's his vivarium. Since I took this picture I've changed to using Infrared bulbs, made a bulb guard, and the thermostat probe is attacked to the side of the viv with hooks.

Glad to help :)

Awesome, thank you :3
SuperSpurs Posted - 02/02/2012 : 12:36:20
No need whatsoever to make a moist box , he's a desert species and will shed just fine without , his water bowl will create more than enough humidity
All I do with my kings is give them a quick spray with water once a day when shedding , although they probably dont even need that.
They always shed perfectly , in one piece
johnnymachine Posted - 22/01/2012 : 14:52:03
It's a clear sign that I spend far too much time on the internet XD
He looks like he might start shedding in the next week or so. Would paper towels be ok to make him a moist box with?
