Well, the scales do look dull a little bit, but they seem to have a blue glow around them in certain sun. I know about their eyes, I just haven't seen her eyes go blue so IDK if she will shed soon or not,
in other news, the petstore had no rats so I got her a small adult mouse and she ate it. :3

If you observe her daily, her eyes will go blue at some point visibly ... and they will stay that way for a few days, and then they will clear up and THEN she will shed.

Ah, okay, so they will stay blue for a few days. :3
I of course have to leave her alone for 48 hours now since she's eaten, but after she's out of blue(I hear no handling in blue since they can't see very well) should I still leave her be until she sheds?

If she is a snake that is comfortable being around you, I wouldn't bother leaving her alone. Others may say differently, but I handle my balls whenever I want as long as they didn't just eat (48 hours as you said), and have no issues. They still shed perfectly, sometimes minutes after I put them back.

Okay. She seems pretty comfortable around me.
She doesn't even seem to be headshy with me anymore. I've had no problems recently petting her head. She doesn't jerk back or ball up or anything(she's never balled up around me even at the expo)
:3
Thanks

Re: She's most likely in shed, should I feed her?

The biggest problem when they are in blue is when their eyes cloud over. They can't see and get very stressed with movement or whatever going on around them. The eyes will clear and then about one or two days later you should find the freshly shed skin. I handle my BPs up to the time the eyes cloud and then I leave them alone. As a matter of fact my normal was in blue and his eyes never clouded (or I wasn't paying attention and missed it one day) then suddenly the next day I find a fresh shed in his hide. So I never even knew he was going to shed and was handling him the whole time.

I should probably clarify that I don't handle them taking them out playing with them when their eyes cloud. But if need to clean or something, no biggie. All mine eat in shed too, I dunno. Lol.
Sorry if I presented a wrong understanding.

Ah, I see. XD That does make more sense.
I wouldn't really want to take her out playing if she couldn't see. If I was her, I'd be terrified if I could barely see and godzilla came to play with me. XD But since she does seem fine around me, I'll clean and whatnot if I have to if she goes blue.
And I'm not sure if I've missed it or if she just hasn't gone blue yet.
