Is this normal?

Hey, sorry, missed this thread yesterday...

As for the eyes clouding, I've never not noticed when any of mine were cloudy, but some only stay that way a day or two, so maybe that was the case and you simply missed It? No worries, just see what next shed brings.

I would just stick to a 7 day feeding schedule. Your prey size is right in line for the snake's weight.

As for the weight, I always try to weigh when I know they are empty. Doesn't always work out that way, but I try. I keep records of weights, etc...so I will just Mark it "empty" or "full" when recording.

As for the poops, I see fur sometimes, others I don't. But more often than not, no fur.

Welcome back to the hobby. I started out around 2000-2001 and took a break for a while before getting back into snakes within the last few years.
The game has changed a LOT. It used to basically astro- turf, a water bowl, a hide, a heat rock (uggggh!!!!) and a heat lamp sitting on a screened glass tank.
Now there's a LOT more to learn, but it makes keeping these awesome animals sooooooo much easier.

Anyway, hope I helped you out. Sorry for the slow reply.

Lastly, and perhaps most important=

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

Thank you! I noticed a very slight haze to her eyes, but definitely not clouded and that was 2 days before she shed. I thought she was getting ready to cloud up and I do see her every day when checking and spot cleaning her tank but came home Saturday and she had completely shed.

I’ve read about ball pythons holding poop. My red tails never did that. Was like clockwork eat, poop and got fed the day after. I’m thinking the weight was because she didn’t poop that one week. I always saw some fur with my red tails. This was the first time I didn’t see any so it seemed odd to me.

I have a LOT to learn, but I’ve been reading every chance I get and am also awaiting delivery of The Ultimate guide to ball pythons from NERD. It will eventually all sink in... not like a sponge... more like water in a stone. Haha
