Don't worry, they tend to shed less often as they get older. Once their growing rate slows down so does the shedding rate. A month is no time at all, please don't worry. 
There's no need to say sorry for "not knowing much" we all have to learn, none of know all there is to know, we just share our knowledge and teach each other as we go!!!  |

| Whilst is is true as they get older they shed less often there is always the odd curve ball they throw at you. Like for instance one of mine went hormonal early this year and as a result didnt eat for bout three months. He used to shed every six weeks religiously but when he started eating again that went down to every four as he started to put the weight back on. Also another time he went blue and same as you nothing. He went clear again then a few weeks later back to blue and finally shed. To add to that another one of mine shed twice in one go before i got her. I think they do these things to worry us and keep us on our toes lol |

I am definitely with Elament on this! I have had similar experiences with my 2 corns, both shedding regularly and then deciding to shed totally off schedule  ! They definitely do things just to worry us, its their 'corny' sense of humour !!
You say you have seen her go blue, when was that? Silvesta shed recently and it took him 2 weeks from when his eyes cleared before he shed  .
Is she feeding, handling and pooing ok?
Just wait and see what happens Thomas and try not to worry (easy to type and hard to do, I know....).

when did you notice her in blue? and are you meaning specifically her eyes?
their eyes cloud over for a few days, clear again, then the snake usually sheds within a week but i have known some take up to 2 weeks at times |
