If "he is currently shedding" means that he's got patches of skin still on him, what you actually have is a retained shed.

Ball pythons with lots of retained shed can become stressed to varying degrees as a result, or, that retained shed is a symptom that overall conditions aren't right, which may be the actual stressor.

The only patches that are left are by his head. But like I said before he has eaten for me the last time and had no problems during his shed to feed.
