Reverse shed??
My lil girl last meal is on Saturday night. On Monday night when I picked her up, I noticed that she's in blue, eyes starting to cloud and her coloring dulls. This is her on Monday:

Tuesday I decided to leave her alone as I didn't see her at all during the day and even night before I went to sleep.
On Wednesday when I checked on her again, her eyes was turning blueish, coloring wise was pretty much the same as before. I didn't take any picture as I was just checking by lifting her hide for a bit.
Thursday...nothing happened. Didn't see her at all outside her hide, when I peeked she was just curling happily. I left her be.
Today, just now (here is Friday night), I decided to lift her hide because I haven't see any of her shed just to check her progress and voila...her eyes are clear and her coloring sharper than few days back. Problem is, there's no trace of her shedding, not even a little. Here's pic of her just now under the same lighting:

Is it possible to stop a shedding process and reverse it back to normal?
She's been with us for 2,5 months and shed once successfully before.
Nothing changed in her tank, no new addition, no temperature changes and humidity is between 65% to 80%.
She's healthy, drinks regularly, curious and flicking her tongue when I handle her just now, her body is relax and not tense at all.

thank you!!!
i was freaking out, i thought maybe i disturbed her too much...or she's hungry that she somehow magically cancel her shedding progress [emoji85]
i didn't even notice her first shedding process, just found her skin in the morning when i passed by her tank [emoji39]

You're fine just keep doing what you're doing. Once they clear up they usually shed within a day or 2
Here's a very in depth thread

Oh I was expecting to see this kind of reverse shed that I caught my Honduran doing.

I kid. Yep, eyes go back to clear a day or 2 before shedding. Make sure the humidity is up!

I've had them go into blue and then not shed. Not stuck shed, just completely reversed the process. But that was only a couple times total in a decade.
