Has he turned dull will cloudy blue eyes?
The usual sequence is:
1. Go into 'blue' for about a week.
2. Return to normal colour and clear eyed for another week.
3.Finally shed.
This can vary from snake to snake and will normally stay inactive and stay in his hide. Nothing wrong with taking a peek into the hide to check him. But don't handle or feed until the shedding is complete. Again, some will feed during the 'clear' mid-week but no harm just waiting until it's over.
