Hey all, i have a juvenile L. p. pyromelana that i have owned for about 2 months. She shed the day after i got her and hasn't since. In the last couple days she has gotten real sluggish and hasn't left her cave, also her color has gotten somewhat dull and her eyes cloudy. All normal signs of an upcoming shed. So i woke up in the morning to find her eyes nice and black, but no shed. Anyone ever experience this? She is still fairly and reclusive, but i find it kind of weird.

Yeah that's normal. She should shed within the next few days. Just don't handle her much if at all because the new skin under the old skin is easily damaged during this time.
