they will often brighten up a bit before they shed so she should shed within the next fews days of so. they go blue first then clear before a shed.

I'm glad she shed well, have you checked for eye caps and tail tip? The shed is often longer than the snake as it tends to stretch as it is coming off. This is a good way to get an accurate measurement of your snake if you want to know how long she is http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure

Just be confident when you get her out. Make sure she knows you are there by tapping on the glass or something so you don't startle her from sleeping.
