my 3 year old cali king had blue eyes about 5 days ago. so I he was sappose to shed. then his eyes cleared but he still didn't shed he has rocks in the viv so he can break the skin to shed. when he was with blu eyes he refused to eat which is normal but now i gave him a mouse and he eat it. how long should it take to shed after the blue eyes have cleared?
I am a bit worried since this is the ferst time that this snake is going to shed and i have never had prob with the other snakes. |

| Just have a check on the bits of skin you find for the eyecaps and make sure the tail tip is there as well. |

Have a good look on the bit of head shed, if you can find it, to see if the eyecaps are there.
If not, then wait a few days and you may possibly see what looks like bad shed around his eye, if so then his eyecaps are probably still there, if not then they've more than likely come off and you just haven't found them. |
