    When the snake sheds but the eye scales don't come off.. that's a retained eye cap. Sometimes it happens if your humidity is too low. Try soaking your snake in a shallow container of warmish water for an hour. Make sure there's a good lid on it! You can put paper towels in the container too.

    Well, she just may be shedding again. Sometimes they shed frequently.

    Well I can't think of any other reason for her eyes to be milky. I'd keep an eye on her and see if she doesn't shed. If you could post a picture that'd help.
