Default Adult Boa Shed Cycle

Got a bit of a worry in that well over a week ago the eyes on my boa blued over, and of course still are. No sign of a shed yet, or even any effort to attempt to do so.

I know humidity isn't an issue as its been soaking for days at a time.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Im hoping that on large snakes this time scale is normal? Not familiar with keeping snakes of this size.

Thanks

Cheers for that! to be fair looking at her just now her eyes have cleared up. No where near as blue.

Hate sounding like such a noob! But im used to smaller snakes shedding almost immediately after they blue up.

Thought i best check!

Cheers.
