Hungry or in shed ?

[mattchibi]

I suspected my normal girl to be in shed a week ago, because she had an exceptionally pink belly. (I have a thermostat on my UTH so it couldnt have been a burn, as I keep it at 92 tops) However, I have taken her out two or three times to check on her, but never noticed blue or cloudy eyes. I noticed when bp's are entering the shed phase, they will be very reluctant to come of their hide.

When I went to pick her up those three times, she balled up a lot more than usual, making me think that she was definitely in shed. I havent handled her much at all and therefore havent gotten a good look at her eyes. Its been about 12 days since I saw signs of pink belly, and she looks completely normal right now. Never during those 12 days did I see blue eyes though. Does this mean she isnt actually about to shed? Her last shed was end of September, so I thought it was a bit soon for her to shed again.

The reason I am asking is because she has been roaming around a lot more than usual since Monday, and I usually feed her on Sunday nights. Husbandry is spot on btw. I decided to skip her meal this Sunday because I thought she was in shed. I am starting to think she isnt in shed at all, (isnt and didnt show blue eyes at all as far as i could see). She's carousing freely around her tank right now (and shes been soaking a lot in her water bowl), but Im thinking maybe shes just hungry. Should I try and feed tonight?

Another reason I thought she might be in shed is because I noticed a blueish tinge all over her body the other day. But I have now confirmed that the body doesnt turn blue at all during shed, and it only looked blue in a certain lighting because their scales are actually iridescent! How neat
