First shed.....maybe

My female BPis in shed. She is in the phase where they clear up and then shed. She is very head shy at the time of her shed. I had to pull her out yesterday to do some spot cleaning and she just pulled her head back so i'm thinking that what you experienced is quite normal.

Sweet im about to take a vid and upload it by 1:30 or so to show behavior and color.
BTW this is like day 9 and I am still surprised he ate before shedding, even is was only half of what he normally eats.

Uploading vid now. Heard cracking of the old skin so I hope to see shedding by the end of the day. =)

Don't worry about it. Just let your snake have some alone time and you should find a nice shed very soon.

Alright almost Day 12 and still no shed. Seems to be the same ghost/ really dull color as yesterday. Also REALLY shiney. Idk what that means but he is. He is never really in his hide anymore either. Normally chilling b/w the tub wall and the hide or roaming.
Is there a sickness or some disease that causes these symptoms or am I just being impatient? Is it time for a soaking and wash cloth method? Eyes rn't dented so I know he's not dehydrated........
PS
He has only eaten twice for me and refused twice before he ate.

The shedding process can take up to 14 days. I just read the sticky on the shedding process under BP Husbandry. You should read it. My female BP just shed for me after twelve days of looking dull and then clearing up. What is your humidity at? You should have it at 65% to 70% to help your snake shed. Just be patient, it will happen soon.

Haha so just impatient, and yea I read that sticky. Humidity is above 70 more like in the 80's. haha

This is driving me insane. I'm about to go on a camping trip fro 3 days and this little guy still hasn't shed. He is ultra dull in color and VERY glossy. But his eyes are as normal as the day I got him and the top of his head normal. It's just the rest of his body looks like he is dehydrated or something / wants to shed.
I haven't fed him since he started. (12 days ago) I didn this b/c ppl said when they are in shed or sheding they don't eat. Should I feed him, and will that help the shed?

All my snakes eat during shed. The only way to find out if yours doesn't eat during shed is to offer food and see.

Could you possibly take a picture of te snake? Chances are he will shed any day now though.
