Milky eyes on & off

My jungle's eyes were milky so I thought it was close to a shed, but today they're clear again - is this normal?

Happy - Yes, perfectly normal...the 'milky' phase goes away and the snake usually sheds within a week or two...

Your snake will probably be a bit narky, shouldn't be handled and will likely refuse to feed during this time...

yep, completely normal. The bigger the snake the longer it tends to take to shed after the milky eyes go back to clear. My 6-foot coastal had clear eyes for about five days and he hadn't eaten for 2 weeks, so I offered him a feed even though I knew he was close to shedding. He took it straight away, ate it, then began to shed immeadiately afterwards
