Phantom shed???

gregmonsta · 02-23-2008, 09:17 AM

... our garters went in to shed a few days ago. Slithers and Clint are doing fine (ie very blue and following a normal shedding pattern) but here's the thing ... both Slithers and clint started to cloud up at the same time and two days later J's eyes went cloudy too and for the past two days he seemed to be heading in the same direction yet today - he looks perfecly fine and colourful yet there's no sign of a shed skin anywhere in the tank .... any ideas anyone?

Snakes don't stay blue for the entire time, they seem to clear up a few days before the shed, then suddenly..TaDa!
