    I can never ever ever ever tell when my albino is in blue. The only way I can tell he's getting ready to shed is that he feels a bit different when I handle him - I don't even know how to describe it. Other than that, it usually comes as a surprise when I check his tub and there's a shed in there, lol.

    I can always tell when my albino's going into shed. Their bellies turn pink. That means they're going to shed soon. This works for all other morphs as well.
    However, I haven't noticed any eye change.

    I saw a video and you could BARELY tell that they eyes were a TEENY TINY bit milky, not blue, and that their pattern dulls a teeny tiny bit as well.

    My female albino ball python gets really dull when she's getting ready to shed (the yellow is not nearly as bright), however the only indication of my male Kahl strain albino boa is going to shed is he gets extra cranky and turns into a jerk. I can't tell by his physical appearance, but it's quite obvious with my ball.
