My adult female has not eaten in over 2 mo's, now going into blue???

Hey,

I swear my adult female BRB is going into shed, though she has not eaten for 2 1/2 mo's. Is this possibly a pre or post ovulatory shed? Lemme know and thanks ahead of time!

Snakes shed even when not eating. Sometimes their skin just needs replaced. Are you cooling and not feeding, or is she refusing because she is ill or possibly gravid?
