hatchlings and ones in between adult and hatchling shed about every month and adults shed about every six months.
P.S. Your snake will not eat for about two weeks, will start to look sick, and they will start to turn somewhat gray and their eyes will look almost completely gray when shedding.

∙ 12y agoThe corn snake's eyes will turn a milky blue. Then the snakes skin will turn a very dull color and it will start to shed. The whole process should take around a week. Remember! Your snake will require some humidity to shed. If you notice that the skin is coming off in patches instead of one piece, increase the humidity by soaking the snake in warm water or put it in a box filled with damp moss. GOOD LUCK!

∙ 14y agothey will go off there food and be sluggish- keep water in the area to keep the atmosphere humid! when they start to shed their outer skin layer becomes detached from the outside of their skin and lift off as the snake gets out of it -it will leave behind a crispy shell that is translucent and looks like and empty snake! you will see it lift off slowly over the course of a couple of days as the snake shrugs it off!
