Shedding

Hi everyone....I was just hoping that some of you can give me your experiences of your snakes shedding. Basically, my baby corn has yet to shed, but I think that she may be getting ready to. She is usually very shiny, brightly colored Pink and red. I noticed a few days ago that she's started to dull, and get a sort of white layer over her skin. Also, she is usually all over her vivarium at night, but has chosen to curl up quietly under her half-log or plant leaves the last 2 nights. I've read that these are signs of pre-shedding...tho I handled her yesterday and she was very alert and curious as always. Her eyes have not glazed over to the bluish color yet, and today was her feeding day so I decided that I would try and feed her, which worked out well because she took her pinkie very willingly.

I guess you can say I'm just a little nervous cuz I don't know what to expect and need to be assured that everything she is doing is perfectly normal.

Please help! Thanks!
