Well My Cage Is A Glass 30x18x18. It Is Heated By A Zoo Med Heat Pad Below And A Clamp Lamp With A Zoo Med True Red Basking Light Above(75 Watt).
His Hide Box Is A Half Log Habba-hut And His Water Bowl Is A Green Rock Bowl. In The Center I Have A 16.5" Wood Compsite Stick For Climbing. Tigers Cage Is Lined With Reptibark. Right Now I Have A Stupid Tempature Strip And My Means Of Humidity Is A Squirt Bottle.

Now My Other Thing To Ask Was This. My Snake Has A Greyish Hue To His Body Lately, Especially Near The Head. Is This Normall? And Also He Has Eaten Two Whole Mice Ina Week Is This Bad For Him?

That first portion is leftover from another thread?

Yes it is normal for the snake to look paler as it prepares to shed - you may also notice the eyes going a milky blue. If you have well maintained humidity he'll slough the shed easily enough. Do you have a hygrometer to measure the humidity?

Did he eat both mice in a sitting or did you feed them on different days?

[TIGER_BALL]

No I Do Not Have The Hydro Thing. And He Ate The Mice About Three Days Apart. His Eyes Are Not Yet Milky But He Is Definately Grey.
Thank You For You Help!!

Ps-is There Anything Else I Need Soon For My Snake?

I'd definitely invest in a digital thermometer/hygrometer - they can be had for as little as $10 - so you can ensure you are providing optimal conditions.

On the feeding some folks feed juvenile BPs as little as 5 days apart. The norm is a weekly cycle. You could try feeding two mice in a sitting every week or a larger prey item but i would avoid feedings that close together.

This is what to look for when shed time comes around:
