First shed ?

[GarterGuy17]

Im not sure if she getting near her time to shed but just a while ago I notice she had kind of a foggy outline going down the side of her body and tail about 2 inches away from the head. does this mean she is approaching a shedding period ? or not. Also her eyes are the same as always just this grey lining which I am worried about

She will take a faded/cloudy appearance when going into opaque phase (shedding).
Her eyes will go cloudy, then you will know she's getting ready to shed.

Can you take a pic for us John?

[GarterGuy17]

I will try but I mean In pictures you cant really see it as much as in person.

[EasternGirl]

Right...but I may be able to tell you if it looks like an impending shed or not. Try to post one of your pics that you took of her before she looked like this, and then a new pic of her right next to it.

Well I haven't been able to upload any pictures but her color is gradually dulling by the day not fully dull but a few more days should do it. I'm pretty anxious though this being her first shed i'm pretty sure and mine as well , just can wait to see here color after she sheds

Relax. Mellow out. She will shed when you're not looking. It's like a watched pot (as in, "a watched pot never boils").
It sounds like you have humidity right, so assuming there's a shed coming you should see the eyes go cloudy anytime soon. One of ours has been showing signs that he's going into shed for the last week or so (off his food, belly went blue, hiding away and really not wanting to be handled) but it's only today that his eyes have gone cloudy. With our checkereds I find that their skin is noticably dull for a couple of weeks before a shed.
Just keep a daily check to pick up on the eyes and sit back and wait for it to happen.

Now I am completely positive still no cloudy eyes but half of her body is dull and her belly is blue-ish. So does this mean she wont eat ? Im saying because I need to get more pinkies on monday only have 2 small ones left which is for her meal dont want to give it to her if she wont eat it.

Just make sure to keep the humidity up...mist a couple of times a day if you need to...and make sure she can soak in her water dish...oh, and also that she has something rough in her enclosure to rub against...you have a branch in there right? Then let us know if the shed comes of in one piece...if she has any trouble, let us know so we can help. Her eyes should cloud over first, and then clear up...then she will shed any day after that.

Well her eyes are normal just I can see that the dulling started from the back not the front is this something I should worry about ? my humidity is great actually I have no idea maybe because I have 2 water bowls in there one on both sides , I don't know but my humidity is at 60%
