    She looks great, as far as I can tell, though from the bulge near her vent I "predict" she'll need to defecate soon, & usually handling facilitates things...
    (Some snakes actually leave their "gifts" right in the old shed...all the motion to slither their way out of the old skin often seems to "inspire" them-)

    To be sure the eye-caps were actually removed with the shed, just look closely at the skin (above), they should be right there on the head part.
    (photo isn't close enough for me to tell...) Also check the tail tip, make sure the shed came off the very tip. If any noisy breathing, also make sure there
    is no bits of shed left behind in their nostrils.

    As far as I can tell from here, all looks good.
