Yeah the next sign after the eyes are clear is a shiny new snake and a shed skin wrapped around just about everything possible (I dont know how they do it).
As for the handling of a snake in blue its commonly accepted to just leave them alone, they are feeling very vunerable as they are pretty much blind and can be a bit snappy though I've never seen this behaviour with any of mine, in fact its one of the few times my Boa isn't snappy, lol. |

Shedding times will vary from snake to snake. My wee Woody went from first sign of blue cloudy eyes to full shed in a record 7 days. The average guide is about 7 days after eyes clearing after 'blue'. Only thing to do is keep an eye out for chin/neck rubbing. This is a sign that he's starting the initial skin split.
Good luck, hope you manage to catch the process. It amazes me every time I see it.  |

Hope you dont have to wait too long!, last shed Kellogs took 9 days from clear to shed, when its done make sure the tail tip and eye caps are off |
