Shes blue what should i do?
Hey guys
I ended up moving Eve to a different enclosure to feed her and noticed that she was turning "blue". She never shed under my care so Im not sure what I should do to ensure a good shed. Last time I handled her was Monday and I didnt notice anything different about her. What should be my next steps? I read of people soaking their snakes but im not too sure how to properly do it. I also noticed she was weezing im guessing she has loose scales blocking her breathing.

Re: Shes blue what should i do?
No need to soak unless she sheds and has problems getting all of the skin off. Soaking while shes in blue may actually make it more difficult for her to shed.
Keep the humidity 50%-60% and wait.
Based on the temp problems you had early on, if you're hearing "wheezing", I'd start looking for a vet.

the eyes will go clear again, and your snake should shed within 24 hours of that.

Every snake is different, and I don't know how long your snake has been blue ... 7 - 14 days is a good guess.

Yes, it can be a few days or more than a week. I myself am eagerly awaiting my new male's shed.
I would just raise your humidity as was stated. Some people use humid hides, but I just raise my entire cage's humidity so that they cannot escape it
