| sometimes it takes anything from a few days up to a week (some people I know have waited longer) for a snake to shed after the eyes go back to normal. Currently my MBK and my pueblan have been a few days past eyes clearing and still no sign of the shed. |

Snake 101: A moult is about a 2 week process. At the mid-point, your snake will be grey, dull and you'll be able to tell it's moulting. The process finishes by slowly returning back to a normal looking state during which the fluid between the old and new layer of skin is reabsorbed. Once that's complete and the snake looks normal again, you usually only have 2 or 3 days before it will actually slough the skin.
When you see that it's clearly in a moult by being all grey, you're only 1/2 way to the finished product and a you'll have a brand new paint job in a week  |

Nagini was the name one of mine came with, too, lol. That one is now known as Skyler - named after the dude that asked me to take her. She's the one you see in my signature here  |
