    How do I know if an albino is shedding?
    So I just got my albino ball python. Its my first albino ball and I don't know if he is shedding or not. His skin is loose and his belly isn't total white. It is a bit pinkish if I'm not mistaken. And from the feeding card that I got from the breeder, it hasn't shed in over a month. So it had its shed after it shed and ate little over a month.

    Albinos normally seem to become cloudy overall, with white coloration turning a pinkish color.

    Seems like your Bino may be due for a shed!

    It's nearly impossible to tell. I have an albino BCI boa and only now that he's bigger can I tell when he's possibly about to shed. He just gets slightly duller than normal. Are you saying the ball python hasn't eaten in a month? Young snakes can shed every month as I mentioned in your other post...it's not unheard of and if they are eating regularly it's normal....

    Pink belly is a good indicator that its getting ready to shed.

    On his feeding chart it says he has ate for about a month before I got him. Not he didnt eat for a month.

    I've caught blue eyes ONCE. Otherwise I just look for her to turn cloudy and have a pink belly.
