RE: My coastals got opaque eyes

There is no reason to assume she will have a bad shed and need assistance. However, once the eyes clear you can lightly mist her each day if you want to. Don't leave her sopping wet or make her sleep in a wet cage though, just a little to increase humidity should be enough.

And yes, a branch or something for her to rub against would be helpful for her when she starts the shedding process.

Handle her as little as possible now and for a couple of days after the shed as she will be feeling a little strange and delicate right now.

Yes, as long as it is a nice place for her to rub, her branch should be sufficient.

It is up to you if you offer her food or not. Some snakes eat while on shed, others don't. If you don't want to possibly waste a rat, then wait.
