    I noticed now when I did - her belly is kinda turning a little pinkish and some scales are looked like they are about to peel off or something. I provided pictures.

    This first picture look at the bottom left part for the brownish spots...







    no eyes turning blue or anything..


    Don't worry. The pinkish belly is an early sign of a shedding! That's how I know mine are going to be shedding soon. I'd leave her alone for a week or two, as far as handling goes. My snakes often display a pink belly first, then the foggy eye-caps come a few days later. Sometimes the eyes look clearer, after they've become foggy but before the snake has shed. At least in my experience.

    I ALWAYS have whole sheds on my snakes.
