where's the skin?

My Bci appeared today like it was going to shed anytime soon. I gave it a light mist and about 4 hours later I noticed that he had defecated in the corner. Whenever he defecates I usually find the shedded skin nearby. I open the enclosure and he now has that fresh pastel pink kind of glow that gets you looking for your camera; but I can't find the shedded skin anywhere. I don't recall if I read it somewhere a long time ago but would he of eaten it? I know that some Geckos ocassionally consume some of their shedded skin.

Thanks, Paul.

I doubt she would have eaten it. Try looking now haha. I would expect it to shed soon.

I find sometimes they go 'blue', and then look normal right before they shed. This is probably the case... you should find a shed soon I've never heard of a snake eating their shed before though.
