My Ball is a little over a year old and stopped feeding...

So question, my Ball stopped feeding about a month ago and hes only a bit over a year old...but fed on a regular basis small rats and weighs roughly 560 grams. His last shed was January 6th and looking at him he looks like his eyes have a film over them (its not milky blue) but his body isn't dull like hes ready to shed again...temps and humidity are within the correct range and hes still active and moving around his cage, I maintain his cage accordingly and he is not aggressive at all when handled. Yes is is my first Ball and its a bit unnerving, I know they fast during the winter months, But I'm in Florida....there is no such thing as winter here XD. Any insight from more experienced handlers?!

Well, my babies let me know once theyre hungry because they try to get out of the enclosure, i would say to monitor his weight, and if your feeding f/t you might want to try with a live rodent if he doesnt eat on the next feeding day and he starts losing weight. Youre totally right, we dont have winter here in florida lol

could be in lady mode vs. food mode. its not uncommon.

I thought about trying live, but my husband is mortified of hearing the mouse lol, I told him then you're going to have to leave when I try it hahah.

Here's a shot of his tank.https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...7/img_1716.jpg

You can try live if you want, you won't hear a peep out of a mouse unless the bp misses a strike. I maintain that its normal winter fasting, regardless of were you are in the us lol.

Again the feeding I assume is going to be because of the winter months, it's just that it's also his eyes I'm concerned about... is it possible for him to shed and everything come off and not his eyes?

Yes, very possible, is called retained eye caps

I'm sorry to hear about your snake not eating, but I must say, what a beautiful home you have provided it to live in!

What do I end up doing for the eyes then? Will they come off come the next shed cycle?

Well, we dont even know if theyre actually retained eye caps, a picture of the eyes would be great, and because i have never had that problem with my ball pythons i dont want to give you any wrong advice. If i had to deal with retained eye caps i would look for a vet or an experienced person who knows how to remove them. And i think they wont come off with the next shed, i think the next one will get stuck to the old one but dont take my word for that, im not sure, hopefully someone comments more on this subject
