I need help please

[nikkigee]

I went to petco and bought a healthy ball python. I think he is male but not sure. I would really appreciate and put into practice any advice any one can give me. Since I have had him which has been about 4 or 5 weeks he has eaten about twice a week each week. His size has doubled and we put him in a bigger cage. He has started to get cloudy looking in the eyes instead of that galssy black color. Is he sick?

Nope he's not sick... Just growing and about to shed. His eyes should clear up in a couple of days and he will shed. Be sure your humidity as at the right level, 50-60%, when in shed, and everything should be fine.

He is not sick, he is getting ready to shed! There are a lot of care sheets that would be beneficial to you on this website. Just ask questions if you need help!

Have a look at this, it will explain in detail with pictures, everything you need to know about the shedding process.
