no pink belly

[Damen]

well i have had damen for about 1 month and he is 4 months old he has eaten for me now 3 times but after the 3rd time he ate he was in his hide for about 3 days and now he has been soaking in and out for the past 4 days... i think he is going to shed but his belly isnt getting pink and i dont see any eye caps yet.. does nayone have any clue what damen is doing? i have no idea what he is doing....


thanks

Some ball pythons bellies really do not get that pink....it is only slight sometimes. But a ball python should have no reason to soak. Do you have proper hides and temperatures in the enclosure?

well in his hide it 89-90 the ambient air is 86- and the side where his dish is at i really dont know, but i did give him a mouse that was just a bit too big for him took him a little bit to get it down but he did.. his eyes are not yet cloudy but there is just a little tiny bit of skin haging off his nose he has been rubbing against things a little bit... but i have pretty much done everythig to my viv that alot of people on here reccommended.. but i took him to the vet cause the last mouse bit him.. a little puss but the vet said it looks really good and he will be ok.. do you think that may also have something to do with it as well?
