should i be worried??

My baby diamond was going into sheding, or atleast i thouyght so because his eyes went milky, but it was only for like a week then it was over and his eyes went back normal.

I'm worried because he did not shed his skin.

anny comment will be helpfull.
Thanx

thats good man when his eyes go back to normal that means he will shed in 2 or 3 days

Do a search, simple information. It is totally normal, he will shed his skin soon.

I asked a guy if i needed to get like a humidity reader or something but he sais i will be fine as long as i have a water bowl in the cool end and have a warm end of about 28-30.

It is a baby diamond python

Feeding while it is shedding isnt a problem! Some snakes will eat and some wont
It is best avoid handling when it is actually peeling unless it requires assistance

 

[Divan]

thanx beeman.
this is going to be my first shed and i just hope everything will be fine.
I guess it will though

Yep and there is no proof that feeding a snake while on shed is detremental!
We have quite a few that will eat right through the process and some that refuse
