Yes the milky eyes means a shed is coming. Raise the humidity to help her shed.

and the "claws" I think your talking about her spurs. Two claws one on either side of her vent?? If so it totally normal. :D:D:D

hope that helps

Some snakes eat in shed some don't. It just depends on whether or not your snake will eat in shed.

It's ok but not needed. Raising the humidity is more than enough to allow your snake to shed properly. But yes a soak is a good way to help remove stuck shed.

now for lighting.. i have a red heat lamp 100 watts and the temp stays around 82 ish should i keep this on at all times?

Lights kills your humidity. Most people use an Under Tank Heater with a thermostat to control it. 82 in a good temp for the cool side but you need to have a hot side also who's temp is 90-92.

Soaking before a shed can actually make the shed more difficult. Water leeches fluids out of the skin and can predispose them to a stuck shed. You only need to soak them if they have a hard time shedding(the actual skin sloughing part). It's the same principle when we go swimming or take a shower and our skin gets wrinkly and you feel dehydrated.

ahh ok ill soak her if it gets stuck then ty and for the lighting all i have is the red heater light but i can mist the tank more often??
