First Shed and I'm Nervous

[luvr]

We got our baby corn late November and it's eyes were blue the last few days and it's skin is dulling. How long should it tell before he sheds? This is a first for me so I'm nervous but I'm misting his home to try and keep it a bit humid. I have a couple questions tho...

1. What's the usual shed cycle? Like eyes blue for a couple days then how long after does it shed?
2. What are some DOs and DONTs like no feeding or anything? sensitive new skin after the shed?
3. Anything else?

I have searched the forums for some info and things but I'm still a little unsure. I'm sure it'll go fine but I just wanna make sure I'm not forgetting anything critical.

Thanks for your help

Time varies but around ten days. Check your humidity too. Try to keep it around 40-50%. And you can feed your snake but it might or might not eat.
That varies with the snake too.
Not much else to do...But to wait. :grin01:

My snake's total shed time is approximately 10 days. First the eyes go cloudy for about 7 days, then they clear up for about 2 days, then the shed on the third day of clear eyes. I kept the humidity in the tank between 60 and 85% during the shed cycle, and also kept a humid hide that the snake could use at it needed.

I put the following pictures together specifically to show the progression of the shed cycle. I hope they help:

Shedding is generally not something to worry about, and as long as humidity is good the snake should shed completely. Just check once he does shed (by looking at the discarded skin) that the skin's all there right down to he tip and the eyecaps have come off, but if you keep misting him it should all go fine.
