this may sound daft but:
does snakes eat their own skin..yeah alright stop laughing
the reason i say that is because about 1 week ago sky started showing signs of going into shed
her eyes turned really white
her skin whent really dull and she went into hiding all the time this is normally her sign of shed
she has shed 3 times already since i have had her
so i know what to exspect.
but today i put her dinner in for her and she came straight out for it.
her eyes no longer white her skin nice and dark and shinny
i removed her from her viv to look for the skin i thought she had slipped out of.
but nowhere to be seen in her viv absolutly nothing.

They don't eat their molt or shed like some other reptiles (ie. Geckos) so if you're 100% sure that she was entering her shed, I'm pretty sure that she will shed any day now, especially since it was only a week when you noticed it. They start becoming dull, dull up completely, start becoming less dull and then shed.

Cheers! Very Happy
