My BP has white eyes but no loose skin
So I went to handle my BP this afternoon when I realized that his eyes were white. I'm aware this usually means that he's shedding, but his skin doesn't feel loose. Is this normal? Also, if it isn't, what's wrong with him?
P. S. I'm pretty confident that this is a shed.

Pylox with slightly dull sides and really white eyes

This is normal - he is going into shed. Best to leave him be until he leaves you a present ;) His instinct will be to hide during this process, and handling him will likely be stressful. Don't forget to bump his humidity up to help him out.

Okay, thanks man! Also, is the nonloose skin also normal? Just need to get as much info as possible about shedding

I've never experienced "loose skin" before with my BP when he sheds, so yeah, it's normal.

Yes, it's normal for his skin to be "skin-tight," even during shed.

Wow, perfect timing, at the time I posted this, my little brother's leopard gecko just started shedding

sometimes they do get some a "turkey neck" or loose skin around the neck area.

Oh guys, forgot to ask in the post, is there some kind of post-shed "recovery time" for the snake? According to my logic, I probably shouldn't handle him for a while, and also switch to F/T temporarily, right?
P. S. When I said switch to F/T, I say that because so far I've only fed him live untul he started shedding.
