hello there all,
As you may or may not know, I adopted a sweet ball python on the 6th, fifteen days ago. She curls up around her cage a lot and has been moving around more. I keep her cage nice and warm, and humidity can be difficult to maintain somedays. A yesterday, I noticed her eyes are cloudy. Is this because of shedding?
Also, how can I keep up moisture in her cage?
And is she hungry?
Thanks

If it's blue she is probably shedding, I'm a new BP owner as well I find that if you get eco earth bricks get it wet and put it in your tank and your humidity will raise you can also use tin foil . And the last question do you know when she ate last? If it's been a week or so I'd say she is hungry

[Nodnarb3do]

For humidity, can you show/describe the setup you have for her enclosure?

As to feeding, it can vary by age but generally BPs eat every 7-14 days, so decent chance she is hungry if she hasn't eaten since being with you.

I estimate she is an adult, she's 4 feet about. Her eyes are a smoky grey color. I do not know when she was fed last. I tried to feed her on sunday with no luck. I have tin foil on the top with coconut substrate.

I'd try again tomorrow then, try to keep a regular pattern. What's your process for feeding her?

[That_One_New_Guy]

I'd give her eyes like 24ish hours to clear up and if so she is probably shedding. Do you keep the coconut husk damp?

[Manglewantsmacaroni]

I would bring her to another cage for feeding, about 8 gallons big. I set up a water dripping system to give her moisture and simulate rainfall. So, if the eyes are a smokey grey/white, is she going to shed?
Thanks

What I would do for your substrate is get the bricks of coconut husk and stick it in a bucket of water give it 30 minutes and put it in your tank. Also try and feed her in your cage. That's what I did she ate it in under 15 minutes after 3 weeks of not eating. Her eyes will get smokey then clear and then about 36 hours later she will shed

I use spaghnum Moss in her warm hide to keep up humidity. She loves it. I also use coconut shred bedding and it holds in humidity. If the top is screen, try covering it with foil and a DRY towel.

IS it safe to feed her at this time, before she sheds? Is that a good time?
I have coconut subs. and Moss in as well. I am going to try to use a dripper.
There is tin foil on top as well
