Have had a five foot long Darwin Python (Australian) for a week.

Its eyes are glazing over and turning blue.

Is this a problem? Someone suggested it may be an indication it is soon to
shed its skin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Danny.

sounds like it's going to shed to me. they usually clear up a day or so
before they shed. make sure it has a little extra humidity to make the shed
easier

Standard shed notification! Different snakes take different amounts of
time to get through their shed cycle. Providing extra humidity in the
form of a moist hide box (plastic box + snake-sized hole + moist moss
+ heat = happy snake sauna) will help get you a complete shed.

Make note of when the eyes turned blue and the day it sheds, then
you'll have an idea of that particular snake's shed cycle.

Many snakes are slightly irritable and may refuse food during the shed
cycle.
