Are these what you call "cloudy" eyes? Went to work and came home and they look different now

Yes :)

She's starting her shed cycle. In about week +/- her eyes will clear then she will shed shortly after.
 
Ok wow im totally freaking out! So excited!! Sooo now what? Haha she has been home about 36 hrs now im doing my best to leave her alone but she likes to burrow so i go digging for her if i havent seen her in a long time. She was last fed on sat so i had planned on keeping to that schedule but now this. So should I wait to feed until after she sheds? Or after her eyes clear? Or will her eyes stay cloudy till she sheds? Im a bundle of nerves right now...

Wait to feed her until a day after she sheds. From what I've been told, during shed some corns will eat normally, some eat and then regurg (which isn't good for the snake), and some flat out refuse food. Won't hurt her to delay feeding until shedding is over and it will stress you out less.

Her eyes will go back to clear when she's ready to shed (usually a few days before the big event).
 
Both the new home environment and the coming shed makes your snake feel more like hiding. Try REALLY hard to not go digging after the snake.

Look for other evidence your snake is well and active like things moved around in the viv or tunnels through the aspen.

The snake is most likely to be active when it is dark and quite, so sometime creeping back in the room after it has been dark and quite for an hour or so will allow you to observe your snake. Make sure you have lots of vines or other "clutter" in the viv. It is wonderful fun to watch a snake sneaking through green plastic plants thinking they are oh so hidden, especially really bright red or orange snakes.
 
It's perfectly fine for her to skip a meal while blue, and she should have a week of settling in, anyway, before you handle or feed her. So now instead of her roaming around, tempting you to play with her, she will be safely tucked away until she sheds. Then I'd feed her, let her digest, and then she's fine to handle.

Yeah, looks like he's just entering the clear phase, so it should be just a few days at most before he sheds. You can try feeding him after he sheds.
 
You can feed him right after, although occasionally snakes will not want to eat immediately after shedding. Mine have never refused, but it does happen sometimes.
 
Ok so he shed and man is he gorgeous now!! Only problem is that i cant find the head piece. Im emptied his viv and found everything but the head piece. Ive looked at him and theres nothing on his head, no loose skin or edges. Ive soaked him with no results... Whats next?

Very pretty, looks like mine. Who has never shed, so she aught to be getting ready to as well, I got her Nov. 6th. Glad you posted the eyes so I could see what to look for with the albino eyes.
 
While you are waiting I would do some reading. Here is a link to a post I made to another member, but it has a lot of pertinent information that will help you know your snake better.

info sheet

Good luck!!!
