The skin is covering his eyes and he moves all about his tank at night like he's confused or delirious. I can't seem to get the temp in his tank at the right degree during the day and he's having from what I understand is called a "bad shed" because I can't figure how to make his tank humid enough for him to shed properly! Someone help me! Tips and advice would be much appreciated!!!

Welcome!! Check out this post about setting up tanks. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-With-Pictures!

As others asked...what device are you using to measure humidity/temps?

your UTH would "help" more if it was under the tank. MAKE SURE IT IS ON A THERMOSTAT (this will regulate it or it will burn your snake).

Humidity wise, try setting his water dish closer to being underneath the heat lamp, cover 90% of the screen with foil or get sphagnum moss (found at pet store) and spray it down and set it in little disposable (Dixie) cups in his tank.
