She could have eaten it, but not too likely.
Are you SURE she has shed? The eyes clear up for a day or so before the shedding actually happens. I just witnessed the first shed of my snakie, and before she did it, I thought she already had. Then that evening, I saw the old skin under some 'furniture' in her tank, and removed it..
Adding some humidity to the tank can help the snake shed more easily, if it's about to. I placed a damp towel in my tank for a couple days, and ended up with a perfect, one-piece skin.
