Hatchlings shedding

[cheverton]

I just bought my first two snakes three weeks ago.Both are Corn snakes and three months old.Both have now shed however in both cases I had no indication they were about to.

I check and handle them most days.The first one I hadn't handled for a few days because I was so busy but I did look at him everyday and no way could I tell he was about to shed(no milky eyes,change in skin).Then I looked in on him and he had shed.

The second one was even more baffling.I got him out yesterday for the longest I had handled him in one go(around twenty minutes)He was so calm and exploring everywhere.Again there was no indication he was going to shed.

Then tonight I was going to handle him and noticed he had shed.I am a little worried because I know they don't like being held near to when they shed but there really was nothing to show me he was about to.Help!

What morphs are your two snakes? Some are pretty hard to tell that they're about to shed.

If your snakes aren't giving any indication that they are disliking being held around shed, then I wouldn't worry about it. I have some that are quite jumpy and others that aren't when they're in shed. I don't worry about holding the calm ones, since it doesn't seem to bother them.
