Snake in blue

Well , my snake is in the blue for almost 2 days..
Is it normal that he almost doesn't move when he is in the blue?
because , normally he is 'very' active.. but now.. he just lays there on his hiding , beneath his plants..

Now I'm typing this message.. I will ask my other question also here..
what is the duration of the blue phase ? because it is the first time since I bought him..
Greetings
 
Next to just being fed, the blue phase is usually one of the snakes most secretive times (i.e. they're more vulnerable prior and during ecdysis). It depends on the snake, usually for my amel it takes 4-5 days to a week and a half after her blue phase to actually shed. A humid hide is always a good idea to let your snake get the humidity it needs. I just have an empty margerine container that I turn upside down, leave the lid on and just cut an entry/exit hole and then cover the bottom in moist paper towel(leaving the cover on keeps the moisture in, but if it does dry out after a few days just moisten it again).
 
Well , my humidity is not a problem at all..
I think it is even to much..: 54-60 % !
the day before yesterday , I had put a little plate of water with some spagnum moss around it in his viv, but then the humidity was 66%.. So I took the plate out and I've put the moss around his drinking 'box'..
and now it is 58 %..
I think he is now in the blue for 2-3 days.. because at the beginning it wasn't SO blue as it is now.. but it was blurry..

Thanks for your help btw!
 
Well , his eyes are normal again!
Hope he will have a complete chedding for his first time he's with me..
otherwise , I know what to do, I've read and learned a lot on this forum :D
