Rescued ball pythons

[satomi325]

just rescued 2 ball pythons from a guy and have a few questions.
they are a breeding pair.The male is 3.5 feet, and the female is 4.5 feet.they both apear to be healthy, but they both have this kinda haze to the skin, kinda like oil on water look. Also, i cant get them to eat. the guy had them in his garage with no heat (I am in Washington state) they were very cold. He was feeding them live rats 1 a month not jumbo's. They came out of shed about 2-3 weeks ago. Also, the female has/had a little scab on her nose its almost gone now, And her eye caps wont come off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

How are they doing now? No signs of respiratory infections?
How is your set up? Change in husbandry fixes an off feed ball most of the time. And exactly how long have you had them?

I'm not sure what you mean by haze on the skin? Can you provide some pictures?
The nose scab is probably from the female rubbing her face on the enclosure. It will heal on its own. But to can apply Betadine on it, if t worries you. And for the eye caps, its better just to leave it until the next shed. It does more harm than good to mess with a snake's eyes. Just make sure their humidity is perfect during the next shed and it will come off.
