Shouldn't be much longer. This will be the first since I caught him/her.

Yah soon as those eyes clear up its only a matter of 1-3 days then.... Amp up the humidity with a nice large water dish and offer moist hides and something a little rough to rub on and your good!

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the shed happens before I go back to work.

Wow, nice looking snake to be wc.

lol I have one that I've seen go blue, clear, and then shed in a period of about 48 hours. But yeah, usually happens a few days after their eyes get cloudy

Thanks. Pretty social for a wild caught snake. Been a little grumpy today but I'd be the same way if my eyes were clouded over.

In one photo I see T.s.sirtalis (Eastern Garter) and in another I see T.butleri (Butler's).

More important is what worms are you feeding? Post #7, photos 2 and 3. I see a lot of banding on the worm in those photos. Possible red worms?
Red worms are toxic to garter snakes.

All pictures are of the same snake. Took them myself.
Unless I have red worms living in my backyard with all the night crawlers and earthworms then no. I will start paying closer attention to the worms I catch and avoid the ones with banding for safety reasons.
