Adult Boa Shed Cycle

[jack_rep]

Got a bit of a worry in that well over a week ago the eyes on my boa blued over, and of course still are. No sign of a shed yet, or even any effort to attempt to do so.

I know humidity isn't an issue as its been soaking for days at a time.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Im hoping that on large snakes this time scale is normal? Not familiar with keeping snakes of this size.

Thanks

the eyes will clear first then shed will follow anything up to 7 days after maybe more!.....i have a bci thats been milky for over 7 days and her eyes have only just cleared....would expect her to shed by weekend

Cheers for that! to be fair looking at her just now her eyes have cleared up. No where near as blue.

Hate sounding like such a noob! But im used to smaller snakes shedding almost immediately after they blue up.

Thought i best check!

Cheers.
