I've seen it vary, my girls eyes usually stay that way for about 3 days or so. I'm not sure of what the actual cause is, but at first they were barley blue, then gradually got more blue, then they faded out and back clear. Just make sure your temps are in the high 80s(87-89) and the humidity is above a minimum of 50% which it should be 60% around shedding.

yeah everything is up to par. i have a contained room set at 80 degrees. plus humidity is always around 60 in my neck of the woods anyways, i bump it a little bit while they're in shed.

I wouldn't stress it then, sometimes they can go in shed longer then others, i've seen it happen.

It's not very uncommon at all for anacondas to having issues starting on food. In the wild they eat bird type prey as babies.

How long has it been since she was born, or since she last ate? I hate to recommend assist feeding but, i've never come into one that will not eat once assist fed. If you have any experience doing it, use a fuzzy, if not, try to call some of the local pet stores and see if any of them have any experience. Most yellows i've seen need to be assist fed to start, and after that they're good to go. Some may require it a 2nd time, but that's usually it. Keep my posted on her progress.
