My snake has had the blue eyes for about four days (including this morning).
But I just when in there and he doesn't' have them anymore... I've looked in any possible place, but I can't find his skin! What the heck happened?!?!

Hasn't shed yet. Eyes go back to clear, then they shed.
Could be anytime now. Probably over the next 48 hours.

I don't think they went back to normal last time (only other time he's shed), but that solves it. That was easy.
Thanks.

They did. They always do. They usually go back to clear very suddenly. That's how you know they are ready to shed. Like Steve said, the shedding will happen sometime in the next few days. This is a good time for misting and keeping up the humidity so that the shedding will go smoothly.

The cloudyness you see is really just the new skin forming under the current one. Once it's complete, the eyes go clear again. Then they shed, and the new skin expands for a better fit.

He shed today. Both eye caps, and everything. Went very well. Quick and smooth, like last time.
