    Shedding question..

    explain to me why my male BP showed the shedding phase with the blue eyes and orange-ish looking belly for the last two days and now when i looked the blue is kind of gone the orange under belly is gone but i see no shed ANYWHERE, he's in a proper container so humidity is where it needs to be..

    My bp takes about 2-3 additional days to slough his skin after he clears up.

    This should help. Just keep up with the humidity and he should shed in no time.

    After they go blue, ball pythons then "clear up" before the skin is actually shed. My guys usually go blue for 2 days then clear up for 3-5 days before actually shedding

    Getting them on the same feeding schedule shouldn't be very difficult.

    Find one day that you wish to feed them on, say Friday for example. If you have one in shed, skip him as you feed the others.

    He'll be fine for a week without eating...

    Then just every Friday, you feed.
    I've got quite a few...

    If they refuse a meal, there's not much of a reason to try again the very next day. Just chalk it up to her not being ready for a meal and try again on the next regularly scheduled feeding day. Offering food too often to a BP that's not eating will likely only add to both your own stress and theirs.

    Many will eat in shed, and in case he doesn't. You can just feed him once he sheds and then feed him again on your feeding day. It's ok if you feed again sooner than a week.
