When snakes are about to shed their skin in summer, their eyes cloud over as the old eye covering layer is replaced with a new one. The eyes look milky in color and the snake’s vision is impaired until it sheds the old layer, usually a few days. This happens in summer, but not necessarily during the Dog Days.
Note, too that shedding can vary from species to species, as well as environmental conditions, the animal’s nutrition and their growth rate.
