hey an.
its snake season so i've been seeing alot of these threads lately, so why not contribute for other new snake keepers.
i just returned home after a week, and my baby boa's eyes are beginning to look very milky. if i look closely i can still see his normal coloration and 'slit' of his eye underneath, but its quite clouded over. (like the picture provided, but more opaque) he is not rubbing his nose, but seemed more agitated than normal when i was handling him today (i guess that could be response to my absence for the last 5 days).
my question:
- how long can i expect this to continue before he actually begins shedding?
- around how long will it take him to actually remove the skin on his own? (hes only 2 feet long)
- can i help him along and just-more or less, pull the skin off once he gets it going? i guess more hold onto the skin while he pulls away
need a quick and simple answer then i'll delete the thread.
