    Silverish coating over eyes

    Our ball python has a silverish blue coating over her eyes. She shed completely about a monthago and has been eating like she should. The humidity is at about 65. we only started noticing it last week. is she going blind? or is this a sign of something else? please help

    She's getting ready to shed again. Young Balls shed about once a month, but it varies depending on diet.

    it's more of a mirrored finish not a milky one you would see when they are getting ready to shed

    Sounds like a shed.

    Young BPs shed frequently. Even when my Pastel was at 800g she would shed 2 times a month some times.

    Take a picture and post it just to be sure.

    Sounds like a normal part of the shedding process to me too.
