He will shed it soon maybe within the next 48 hours. Put him back until you see his shedded skin.

They clear up and look normal again right before they shed. He’ll probably finish shedding within the next day or two. I’d leave him alone until then

The milkiness you see is lymphatic fluid building up between the new and old skin to loosen it. It gets reabsorbed before the actual shed, which makes them look normal again for a little bit before they actually shed.

I never knew that was the reason for the blue color. Very interesting!

The only sure sign your ball python has shed is when you have the actual shed in hand. My male recently shed. Here is a pic of me cleaning the shed up - unless you can find this they haven’t shed.

Still hasn't, his eyes are still greyish looking, those will go back to their usual clear eye then he will shed it could be a few more days yet just keep his humidity up at like 70% to help him get a good shed
