WaitibShedding
My Bp's eyes are just starting to turn milky, how long should I leave him alone until he sheds?

If you haven't already bump the humidity up a bit. I usually mist my snakes 2x a day until they shed. It is going to be a few days. They will go back to clear before they shed.

Mine generally will go clear a couple of day later then shed another couple of days later, so I would say you are 4-7 days from the shed.

yep, 4-7 days sounds about right, just try to keep the humidity above 60% and let nature take its course.

Re: WaitibShedding
i'm not sure if you have aquariums or racks for housing, but in my aquariums, i found it extremely helpful to put a little bowl of water near the heat because this will bump the humidity up and my snake shed everything in 3 pieces afterwards!

Placing the water bowl next to the heat source is good, but you really want the shed to come off in 1 piece.

i should have specified, the other two pieces were little pieces from when she first rubbed part of chin, but the other one was from the top of her nose to her tail.

Thanks, should I not handle him at all for these 4-7 days and should I still offer him food on feed day?

it depends mostly on their personality. for instance, one of mine is the sweetest and will let you hold him when he is shedding while my other is not too happy about it. just remember that a reason that snakes might not be too happy about it is that their eye caps that have not shed yet act like a pair of glasses that are the wrong prescription so vision is even worse.
