I've had many colubrids before, but this is my first ball python who was a rescue from a split couple. I've had him for a few months and he's been acting surprisingly well, great feeding response and has never turned down a meal.

However, I checked on him this morning and I'm rather concerned about his new behavior. Usually he ventures out of his hiding spot at night, but he's been staying in there for the past few days. I checked on him again and found that his eyes were a really cloudy white and he's acting lethargic. Someone told me that the white eyes mean they are about to shed, but do they often hide during this period too like mine is?
