Question about my cornsnake?

Question

My cornsnake is getting ready to shed pretty soon. ( I looked at his eyes, and they where cloudy like he was blind, I freaked, asked a question on here, got oodles of answers saying he was going to shed) So, My question is, yesterday, i went to pick him up, just to see if he was ok, and It seemed like he didn't want to be held, so I put him back, and he slithered back underneath his water dish. So they do get a little cranky before shedding, right? So, when should I be expecting him to shed? Is there anything special that he needs..? he has stuff he can rub against if he needs to. Just some tips is all I need. That would be awesome. Thanks.

Answer 1

Don't worry at all. Most snakes dont like to be held during shedding. It varies with your snake, but most shed within 1-4 days after the eyes go clear. You also want to make sure to raise your humidity to about 70% when their shedding, which is very important to make sure they get a full shed. You can do that by simply misting the cage with a water bottle.  

Answer 2

Create humidity for the cage...Possibly get Moss from pet store or a wet moist (no dripping) towel (no paper towel)

His eyes will go back normal so, probably tomorrow or saturday he will shed! My Corn snake did the same thing!

Answer 3

You just need to get a misting water bottle to spray the cage once a day. He should shed in the next week. And yes, they get pretty cranky because they can't see. My big boa is getting ready to shed and when I tried to move him to a different cage he was hissing and opening his mouth - he was mad. But it's only because they can't see which makes them mad. I hope this helps.
