    Shedding questions
    Last Saturday I noticed my ball python's eyes were cloudy then went blue a couple days after now hes normal but hasn't shed yet. How long will it take for him to shed? Also I didn't try feeding him because of this, so after he sheds do I feed right after he's done shedding or wait until the normal day I feed him which is Wednesday. Thanks.

    He'll shed any day now. You probably know this, but make sure you keep his humidity up. I'm not sure it matters whether you feed immediately after or not. Some will eat while in shed, some won't. I'd probably offer him something and see how it goes.

    he should shed in the next couple days. mine usually shed , take a poo, and then i feed them. you could wait until wednesday to feed if you dont want to mess up your schedule, as long as it hasnt been too long since the last meal. 1-2 days shouldnt make much of a difference. i always offer my bps a feeding if theyre in shed. sometimes they take it. i feel like its nice to offer in case they really want to eat. if they dont eat, ill offer it to another snake. but if youve only got one it could be wasteful. good luck ;)

    Once they look normal again it's only a few days after that.
