    Please help! My corn has had problems shedding in the past. But currently he has gone dull, his eyes have clouded over, then his eyes have gone back to normal but he just wont shed. I have given him warm soak baths and misted his cage. I am worried it might be a serious problem. any advice would help. why wont he just shed already, it been like two weeks since he first started to look like he was going to shed.

    When snakes are about to shed their eyes go cloudy and then clear about 1-3 days before the actual shed. Im not sure why ur snake is not shedding after this happens, maybe feed it more regually to loosen the skin and promote his growth. And also, keep the humidity up in the cage and give him one or two baths aswell.

    Hope this helps,

    if it has been that long since he his eyes have clouded over and gone back to normal and he hasnt shed yet, feed him again and this will losen up his skin, and it might get the process going. and also yes, do give him baths, they help. god luck
