Question Shedding Stages?

Are there different shedding stages?
Because i First noticed my snakes getting dull color, then a pinkish belly, then the eyes went to a Whitish color and now, the males eyes look normal, no skin to be found around his enclosure.
Am i Missing something? How long is a shed cycle supposed to last and did he finish shedding?
Thanks in advanced
Vince.

That means your snake will be shedding any time now. Congrats

Their eyes get cleared up about 1-2 days before they shed. Just make sure you keep the humidity up (60%-75%) and you (or..the snake, lol) should have a clean shed in the next day or so.

I usually record the "whiteness" level of the eyes day to day. 10 being very white, 1 being nearly clear. The last shed cycle my bp had, day to day the numbers were 3, 10, 7, 6, 1, Shed.

I would also say to get that humidity up to at least 80% for the week of the shed cycle, but make sure the snake isn't crawling around in water the entire week.

Thankyou everyone,
When I got home this evening I found that the male did shed, and was so beautiful, and I guess the female has a couple more days more .
Thanks again for the support when I'm so confused
