Re: shed... but no skin!?
give it another day or two, they go clear again before they actually shed.

Re: shed... but no skin!?
There's usually a few days in between cloudy eyes and the actual shed. It's normal, just wait up to 5 more days.

If you're taking care of it properly, it will come off in one piece. If you haven't been, it will come off in flakes. If the latter happens, come back for advice.
The skin will be significantly longer than the snake, as it stretches out as it comes off.

Re: shed... but no skin!?
Depends on whether he has enough humidity. Always raise humidity while they're in shed. BTW, some take longer than a week to shed. Mine usually shed 1 to 1-1/2 weeks after the cloudy eyes clear up.

Re: shed... but no skin!?
Both of mine are in the same stage as yours right now first time I had them I didn't know either. Its always better to ask and it sounds like you are doing everything you can to help your baby out with the shed she should be fine.
