Did your snake's eyes turn a cloudy, bluish color?
Did the old skin begin to look dull or hazy?
Does your pet hide more than usual?
Did your snake's appetite decrease or does your snake refuse to eat at all?
Did your snake become more skittish or defensive, especially when it can't see well?
Does it seek out rough surfaces in its enclosure to help rub the old skin off?
Your snake doesn't show any sign that it is about to shed. Snakes naturally shed their skins regularly. If a longer period has passed without shedding, you may want to watch out for the mentioned signs. The interval between sheds depends on several factors, including the age of the snake as well as its growth rate and environment. Young snakes that are growing rapidly shed frequently (every few weeks) while adult snakes shed less often, sometimes only a few times a year or less.
Your snake shows one common sign that it is about to shed. Signs like decreased appetite or hiding can point out to some health or behavioral issues. Closely observe your snake for other signs that would point to shedding. If those signs do not appear soon, you should consider consulting your exotics veterinarian.

If shedding does occur provide cage accessories, such as clean driftwood or rocks, to help your snake rub off its old skin. Ensure that your pet's enclosure is humid and provide a shallow dish of water where your snake can soak itself. Avoid handling your snake as much as possible just before and during shedding.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
