Hey Gordon, their eyes go cloudy/milky a few days before they shed - they go kinda blue looking - like you can see in the 2nd pic of Zeph. They look a lot duller and you may notice their "skin" looks more elastic. They can't see so well when their eyes get milky so it's best to leave Yasmin alone when you notice this (cloudy eyes lasts a few days) and probably up until after they shed as they can get snappy because they feel more vulnerable. Her eyes will clear up and a few days after they clear again she will shed. When she's coming up to a shed make sure the humidity in her vivarium is a bit higher (put the water bowl closer to the heat source) will help. Sometimes they have problems shedding and you can help them by bathing them. Do a search on shedding in the search engine and you will come up with lots of threads on what happens and how to help with a bad shed. There'll be lots of stuff to read. No need to worry
