Rosy cloudy eyes, could it be something other than a shed?
Am starting to be concerned a bit about our rosy boa. She's maybe 5 or 6mo old. Her eyes have been clouding up since about 10/7 (today is 10/20), but she still has not shed. Starting about a week ago I added a humid hide that she does spend a fair amount of time in, and have usually also kept in a water bowl that she'll tread through often, but not sat and soaked in that I have seen anyway.
She last ate a fuzzy on 10/4. I tried one on 10/9 and 10/12 and she didn't take either (this after steadily taking mice with no sign of hesitation for at least 15 times in a row). I haven't tried feeding again in the hopes she would go ahead and shed any day.
Should I be doing anything else at this point, and how often should I try offering food? I've seen many posts about rosy's in particular sometimes taking a long time to shed, but almost two weeks I wonder if the cloudy eyes are actually a different problem. Her skin doesn't really look much different and is not peeling off in any areas that I have seen. But we've had her over a month and hasn't shed yet so I'm thinking she's due.
At what point should I try other methods like mineral oil or actually putting in a shallow bowl of water, damp towel, etc?
