I have a four month old spider ball python who is (I believe) shedding.
He is very small, about the size of a 2 month old. For the first four months of his life he would barely eat (once every two or three weeks). I caved and began offering live ASFs a month ago and he is finally eating every 5 days. Yesterday I offered him F/T and he took it no problem. So anyway, because he has barely grown his last shed was three months ago. I woke up one morning and there was his shed. I figured I just wasn't paying attention at the time and was just glad his shed was good and in one piece.
This time I have noticed some changes. He is darker in color, his belly and blushing is yellow and pink. His skin feels tight and wrinkly. All of this shows signs for shedding, but he has been like this for 5 days and there is still no sign of cloudy eyes. Three days ago I began raising his humidity just in case.
But is this normal? Could it have to do with his eye color? He has hazelish yellow eyes. All my other snakes have blue, blue/green, or black eyes. So I was thinking it could be the eye color. Should I be concerned? His last shed was fine but I do not want him to have retained eye caps or go blind.
