Hi,

When they are shedding the old layer of skin and the new one are seperated at one stage with a kind of "milky" liquid I was told - may of course be complete but thats what I was told.

Another possible explanation is that during the formation proces the new scales are not totally transparent or totlly opaque and that this is just more noticeable over the eye caps.

There was a great article on shedding posted not long after I joined this site I think - maybe someone can find the link?
