Sorry.. but they aren't personal opinions, they are facts. Your husbandry is off..

There are people who have been keeping and raising Ball Pythons longer than you have been alive, it might be worth the time to LISTEN to them once in awhile.. Maybe your snake would thrive in your care instead of just surviving.

The lack of pigmentation in some scales after a shed is due to low humidity. Fix the problem, and the snake will fix itself.
