    they will often do that just before a shed, expect it by late tomorrow if not sooner.

    If you don't see a shed in the cage, the shed is imminent. When a BP's eyes go blue, that is when there is a fluid accumulation to separate the old skin from the new skin. After the "blue" phase the fluid goes away and they look normal again for a day or two before actually shedding.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: Where could my ball pythons shed have gone?

    Could be as long as a week after the eyes clear up, before you actually see the shed. Usually 2-4 days, though. Be patient. It'll happen when it's ready.
