    Shed advice
    Hello - i've had my first ball python for about 4 months now and he's doing great in my opinion but i'm just getting a bit nervous because he's not shedding? well he has shed for me once since i've got him and now just last week (monday 7-10) i noticed his eyes were blue indicating an upcoming shed. Tuesday's are his feeding days so i waited til Wednesday (when his eyes cleared) to offer and he graciously accepted. now it's been over a week since then and still no shed. i've been keeping the humidity boosted during this time but nothing. He actually looks great. He has accepted his food offering again this week so i'm not too worried something is wrong. just thought he would have shed by now. I am offering a humid and dry hide on his cool side and he is always in the humid hide.. (when on that side) is this anything to be concerned with? and he'll just shed when he's ready?
    Thanks in advance

    He'll shed when he's ready. Some snakes take a while. Just keep that humidity up and you're good to go.

    Some take a few days after eyes clear and others take 8 or 9 days or more from my experiences ...
