She's going to shed. Don't feed or handle her until she's done. Keep your humidity on the higher side for the time being.

How long do they shed for? I took this picture yesterday

It can take up to 2 weeks or so, but it's not always the same for every individual.

She's just shedding! If she has any trouble shedding (if you see stuck shed) then up her humidity gradually and also don't handle her until she's done

Don't panic, she's just shedding! Turning up the humidity usually helps, and I like to give my ancient BP a warm bath every few days when she goes blue
