Quick Question

I've got a four month old BP. I picked her up yesterday and her eyes were blue, an indicator of the inevitable shed process. Her skin had been chalky looking, too. However, I picked her up today and she had no blue eyes and her skin had lost the chalky look. I found no shed skins in her terrarium either.

What's this mean?

They will always clear up a little while before shedding. They all do this, no trouble.
Just wait and see! First shed, very exciting.

X2 shedding is a three stage process.
1) blue eyes, chalky skin.
2) clear eyes clear skin.
2.5) pop up the humidity a bit
3) shed comes. Just got her so it might not be in one piece.(that's ok)

you can try a room temp bath right now for a bit if you want. Check the temp of the water with your heat gun. And she will most likely shed tonight :-).

The blue is just fluid behind the membranes of the eyes... she will shed in 3-7 days once she comes out of it. :)

A freshly shed snake is the "new car smell" of herping. I love it. :)
