 Shedding concerns?

My Mali just started shedding, this is our first shed together and I’m just a little bit concerned about how its going. He is eating and pooping just fine like normal. He is sleeping a lot but everything i’ve read says thats normal. What I’m concerned about is his eyes. I have been calling it sleepy eyes because since he started shedding a few days ago his eyes have been really droopy like a really tired humans. Just wondering what this could indicate?

 Shedding concerns?

Hard to say without seeing - could you post a pic? Is his face shedding? I can’t imagine that would be comfortable..could have something to do with it. But sometimes Rodan plays the "tired kid who doesn’t want to go to bed even though I can’t keep my eyes open" so yours may just be sleepy. There’s no discharge, swelling, etc, right?

no swelling or discharge, i think they might have just been sleepy eyes because later in the day after a couple hour nap and some dinner he was fine, moving around and basking, eyes wide open. it looks like his face is going to strt shedding soon.
