shedding q

I've never acually SEEN my snake shed and was wondering, generally how long does it take for them to shed thier old skin off (from when their skin begins to come off not from when their eyes go milky)?
I guess age/size is a factor here too? ...At the moment mine is approx 7mnth old, about 60-70cm...

RE: shedding q

My Mac shead the first time with me overnight, so I didn't see it,

this time he had some trouble, I went out in the morning and he hadn't got any further when I came home in the late afternoon, so I gave him a warm bath and it came off with such ease I was amazed!
