okay so last time my corn snake shed something really weird happened. i know he was about to shed, so i just left him alone. so i co me back the next day and its skin looked all shiny and new and his eyes had cleared, but no skin in the cage. i searched the whole cage, i took everything out and completly replaced the bedding. i couldnt find any skin so i just left it alone, puzzled. i came back the next day, and what do you know, the skin was sitting on top of the bedding. but how? why did it look like it shed when it really didnt? i was talking to my boyfriend and he described the same thing. whaatts going on?

Most snakes, before they actually shed, go thru the process of cloudy eyes, then clear eyes & normal appearing skin, then a complete body shed. This is the normal routine for all my snakes. Some shed rapidly after their appearance returns to "normal" & others can take a day or two.

Snake's eyes often go milky just before they are about to shed so there's nothing to worry about, it's completely normal!
I've noticed that they tend to do it quickly when there's nobody around :P
EDIT: Sorry, read through it too fast. Yeah, that is strange. Maybe he was hiding it to get your attention :P
