    shedding?

    hi
    Ive been watching my bps eyes and belly for about a week and a half now and it was getting pinker and cloudy in the eyes. She went in her humidity box for about two days on her own and then she went back into cold hide and doesn't hasn't been to active since. I checked her today and her belly is very pink and her eyes are so cloudy they look dark blue (kinda blackish) is this mean she is getting ready to shed very soon or is this bad. her only shed with us was the week of christmas we were out of town so i dont really now what day it was. Nonthing has changed her temp is 85-88 and i bumped uup the humidity to 70 am i just seeing the effects of shedding for the first time or is this a problem? please help

    Your snake will most likely shed in the next couple of days. I would however bump up the temps to about 90F. The lowest would be 88F, but I prefer my Ball python temps to be kept in the 90's.

    Everything is fine. The blue color will clear up and your snake will look normal, then it will shed.

    I agree that your hotside temp should be in the low 90's, not the upper 80's.
