Re: Signs he's going to shed?
So after he sheds how quick should I feed him? I'm pretty sure he's right after the second stage today, so I think I have about two more days before he's done.

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
As soon as the old skin is off, they can eat.

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
Thanks....so I'm sort of freaking out now...he's gone through the signs, opaque eyes, pink belly, wierd feeling skin and that was about two days ago, his eyes have cleared up and it appears as if he's' back to his normal color. He hasn't gone through the light skin part yet, so I'm wondering is it possible for a ball to skip a shed? I'm just getting worried I'm doing something wrong. Any thoughts?

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
I've never seen a snake skip a shed after going through all the other stages. Just wait, and you'll have a shed probably by tonight or tomorrow.
Also as far a feeding, I always feed on a specific night. If a snake is in shed I will attempt to feed or not depending on the individual snake. If they eat or not, they are not offered food again until the following week. The point I'm trying to make is that it's okay to feed after the shed, but it's also perfectly fine to just wait until the next feeding day.

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
The color lightens, but not completely--IE, almost back to normal coloration, which is what you're seeing. He should shed anytime now.

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
thanks actually I woke up this morning and he had shed. However it wasn't in one piece so I guess I need to work on humidity further

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
Did all the shed come off? It's not all that important that it all came off in one piece, just that it all came off.

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
there was just a small piece about an inch long left on his tail so I just did the warm water bath with a warm towel trick and it came off fairly easy with that

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
Our girl has shed 2 times since we got her and both times has been one complete piece. (our 8 y/o likes to keep it and take it to school if its not all covered w/ substrate)
We have 2 corns that shed in the same manner - complete)

Re: Signs he's going to shed?
Hi there.
I have a 3 month old (at the most) ball. She is a normal female, but i dont think that matters much.
Anyways she is usualy VERY active and always trying to climp up her tank and alot of the time "follows me around" inside the tank where ever i go in my room. But in the last few days she is not active at all, and doest come out of the warm side hide much, if not ever since i dont know what she does while i sleep, but she didnt come out her hide last nite and i went to sleep at 5am.
Her eyes are a metallic blue color now and i dont think she cant see much, i flash my hands in front of her face and she doesnt do anything. The thing is her belly is NOT pink at all. I dont think her skin is dull, but I cant realy tell. So i dont know what to think...
This is my first python and first shed of any snake of that matter, so i dont know much. The pet store employee where i got her from said she shed once in the store already. So i would guess this is the 3rd shed (1st with breeder) if thats what it is. But again i dont know =/.
Any thoughs? Thanx.
