Do pythons and boas go through the shedding process the same way? Cause my boa's eyes are cloudy basically blue. But my male carpet python's eyes are not cloudy but they are much darker than my female carpet python.....can someone let me know if my male carpet is in shed or not?

Thanks for all the replies lol....So I answered my own question through time.

And Yes carpet pythons dont go through exactly the same shedding phases that boas do.

Boas eyes get completely blue and carpet pythons *mines anyway* they get SLIGHTY darker but dont really blue over much and you cant tell they are in shed from their eyes unless you look at them closely.

I also knew he might be in shed mode because he was much more defensive than he usually is so that kind of clued me in.

I also noticed carpets dont say in shed mode long either mine was in it like maybe a week if that.

MY brazilian rainbow boa is still in it going on a week and half,

my Brazilian as actually be in the water for 3-5 days STRAIGHT.

you can even see the skin that's about to be shedded off of him when he does it that's how long hes been sitting in there.

and his eyes are super blue.

I can definitely say carpet pythons are greedy.

since i got my babies eating finally early last month (July) they dont skip any meals when fed.

If I feed my carpets two mice a week every week how many sheds can i expect to get by this time next year if they dont skip meals?

How many feet/inches will they be?

himmm thats why I said "mines anyways" lol....I dont know what happened with mine but I definitely seen shedded skin in my male's tank.

How old are yours?
