    first post - looking for help/advice
    We got a ball python not too long ago and are very new to all of this.

    He was fine when we first got him but now his eyes are very cloudy looking and his colors seem to be fading
    Here are pictures:

    When we first got him:

    Now:

    We got him on oct. 16 to be exact. He was fed the day we got him by the previous owner. We fed him a week after and everything seemed normal but he hasn't eaten since then.

    Any help figuring out what could be wrong is appreciated :)

    He is going to shed his skin. :)

    It will clear a couple of days before he actually sheds.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Make sure you bump up the humidity in his terrarium to about 80%. It will help your bp shed.

    Here's a helpful link for you check out about shedding:

    He not eat until he completes his shed. You can still offer, some eat and some won't during shed. Bump up the humidity to at least 70, you should be good to go :)

    I would also refrain from handling him at this time until his sheds. And watch out! You'll see in a few days a super pretty, shiny ball python! :)
