Hello my snake showed pale milky colours 3 days ago , he hasnt moved from the warm end since then and his colours have now come back to normal , i am spraying his tank 2x a day and have a towel over warm end to keep humidity up, is hesuppose to stay at warm end as some ppl say they spend a lot of time in there water bowl or is this when the skin starts coming off ?? he is suppose to be fed today aswell , is it best if i leave it for now until he has shed ??

Also how long after shed until i can pick him up ?? thanks
 
Wether they spend time in the water bowl or not is up to the snake really. Some do some don't. Watch the humidity doesn't get too high, it can lead to respitory infections. They will go back to their normal colours for 2-3 days before they shed (After the 'Blue' stage), so expect a skin soon. And some snakes will eat happily in shed, some won't. Again it's up to the snake really.

You can pick them up streight after a shed if you want. Some people have had snakes shed in their hands. it won't do him any harm :)
