How long is it after her eyes clear COMPLETELY up after going "blue" that she still doesn't shed on her own? As you probably already know, it can typically take a good two to four days depending on their individual activity level for this to occur. If it does take more than maybe four days or so after her eyes fully clear again, it could very well be that this particular female gets a bit lazy because of being fed just prior. This isn't real typical, but as we all know, all snakes are individuals, and can always have their own little individual quirks, habits, and preferences. Sometimes just taking them out and putting them back in the enclosure stimulates them to get moving and shed.
