    Yes, they go into shed regardless of when they are fed. Blueing is a sure sign, make sure your humidity is up to 70 from now til the shed is complete

    I fed my guy just the other day,one day before he went into full shed... He shed in 3 pieces but basically a perfect shed. Keep the humidity up to like 70-80 by misting and you can even add wett sphagnum moss to the tank yo help bump up humidity... When my guys eyes got blue,he went into full shed 2 days later. His whole process from when he goes dull yo blue eyes to full shed is about 5-6 days

    Like everyone else has said, bump humidity up to around 70. You can add a moist towel to the top as well if your using a screen stop. I'd also not handle him until he sheds as it's a very uncomfortable time for them.
