I havn't had my ball python long, and he hasn't shed yet. A few weeks ago his eyes were grayed over, I guess you could say maybe even a hint of blue. So I figured he must be about to shed. Well he still hasn't yet and now his head is ashy (best way to discribe it...he has white lines over the cracks of his head....like when a persons skin gets ashy). and only one eye seems to be ashy also. The temps are good....and I'm keeping the humidity slightly above 60% incase he is shedding. I am starting to get nervous about him having parasites....I read some things online but I don't feel like I have a good idea of what they look like, I don't know if that is what this is...and I could be over reacting...but man I would feel bad if he has them, and would want to get him help fast. Can snake parasites be harmful to people? I have four young kids....one a newborn. He is jumpy (I imagine cause of his eye being ashy)....and seems to be less active lately. I looked for pics of snakes with parasties...but didn't seem to find any. He wouldn't eat a F/T fuzzie yesturday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
