 Hey, can someone please help me??

I fed my snake about a week and a half ago (wasnt able to feed because i had surgery)
i took Bella out of her cage today and her eyes are a chalky white color... the color that they turn if the snake was sleeping. she is coiled into a ball and wont move. she wont respond to food and her skin by her head is wrinkly...can anyone tell me what is wrong??

Your snake is in shed and you should crank up the humidity and give your snake a few days before feeding.

Alot of snakes will not take food in shed. Some will. This snake sounds like it is going into shed.

Yes. Sounds like she’s about to shed. I have only 1 snake that will eat during shed. The others all like to stay in their hides until its over. Some of mine take a week from when the eyes turn blue. Some a week and a half, and some a few days. The younger ones take less time. & a bit of extra humidity does help a lot.

My bella has been going back and fourth from her hide to soaking in her water dish. its funny.
i have been covering the cage so that so one could look in and stress her out...is that good? or should her cage be uncovered?
and i have been keeping the humidity up with a moist towel ontop of the cage...
