She probably shed when you were sleeping. They will get cloudy and a white color due to the skin being dry before they shed. They eat the shed to so you won't find it in the tank. My boy just shed two days ago and he is back to bright orange and yellow. Check her toes and see if there is any skin left or not. It sounds like she already shed tho,

When I first got mine, I would randomly find white flecks on them...and think too it was shed before I actually saw the shedding process. It turned out (for me) that it was just drops left from dusted crickets that walked on them. It ended up wiping right off. If it's just one tiny fleck.... could it be just a spot of calcium dust? At least worth checking :)
