    Is she going into shed?
    I've had my female spider ball python, Freya, for about a month now, and I've gotten her to eat for me three times. It has been a few days since she last ate so I needed to check if she had defecated yet. She hasn't been out of her hide since she ate so I also wanted to make sure everything was alright. It turned out she did poop, so I took her out to clean everything, and noticed her eyes are a bit hazy.
    I heard you aren't supposed to really handle them when they are in shed, so I put her into a little Tupperware I use to weigh her until I was done cleaning the tub. She seemed like she wanted to explore, but retreated back into the container whenever I got close (except when I picked it up lol) I was kinda worried she might bite me so I was really careful grabbing it from the bottom.

    Here's a couple of pics I took of her in the Tupperware.

    Here's one of her a bit before her last feeding.

    And here's one for fun, because I'm proud she's finally eating and growing!

    Thanks you guys! This is my first time seeing it happen in person so I wanted to make sure I was correct. I'm hoping to get a nice clean shed in one piece!
