Sometimes it can take days, my corn has been pale in color for a few days now. As far as I know their eyes clear up a little just before they shed if that helps at all. Though I'm not 100% sure.

If its in the blue, it normally takes 4 days to a week to shed.

When they were younger they would, but as they mature they have faded off eating while shedding.

The eyes will clear up about a day before they shed. Some of mine will feed no matter what condition they are in,...little piggies!
However its generally accepted that it is better to wait to feed till after the shed.

This is what I do.........
When her eyes cloud, I soak her entire body in lukewarm water every day for about 4 days.
Her skin glides off like it's lubed!!!!
I should also mention that I remove her skin for her, yet she/he MUST be ready to lose the skin!!!!!
This was recommended to me by a reptile expert that I have the utmost respect for.
So far it's worked awesome for me but most importantly it works for her HER.
Good luck sweetie, I hope all goes well.

My pleasure sweetie. I hope this method works out for you & esp. for her!
I'm sure it will. We go through our sheds with such ease, plus their skin looks magnificant! I also must admit I get something out of it too. I have a weird fetish for picking at things, hahaha.....I absolutely LOVE peeling her skin.
I'm like feindish & twisted about it.
