BP success-thanks BP.net!

Im a new BP owner. I became interested in reptiles several years ago, but just got my first reptile ever on june 2nd, a baby Ball python. I am 19, and I really did not know much at all about keeping a ball; this forum has been a priceless source of information; a lot of what I was instructed to do for care at the pet stores was wrong, and I got it figured out here just by browsing the forums and creating a couple of threads. When I got my ball, he was small and would not eat at all. e did not eat for 6 or 7 weeks actually. After coming here with questions and getting help I changed some husbandry practices and from what I can tell he is happy, he is healthy, and is now an excellent eater, he is on a 7 day feeding schedule, and downs every adult mouse I give to him. The other day I was taking him out and holding him and I noticed that his eyes were getting cloudy and a shed might be close. I noticed on tuesday, I skipped a feeding day (feed day is thursday) and last night (sat. night) he shed. I tried to be as spot on as possible with my husbandry keeping humidity arund 70%. His shed was perfect. everything came off in one piece with no stuck areas whatsoever. I was really glad, this was our first shed. I feel good to because im a big DIYer, im working on a really limited budget as im in college and dont have much to spend on pets. I will put some pics up soon of Giuseppi (my bp) and his enclosure and shed. just wanted to say thanks BP.net!

Much of what you wrote applies to me too, and I was nodding my head while reading your post. Amen for this forum! And congrats on an entire shed first time around! :)
