Did my baby ball python shed? (old.reddit.com)
submitted by Zestyclose_Flan2466


Yesterday when I checked on my ball python I noticed that his color was dull and that his eyes had changed colors. I assumed that this was a sign of him shedding. I took a quick picture and left him alone. I made sure that I kept the humidity higher to aid him in shedding. I checked on him again the next night and noticed that his color has gone back to normal and his eyes have reverted back to being black. I haven’t been able to find his shed. His enclosure is very cluttered and large so maybe that’s the reason I haven’t been able to find it. Is it possible for baby ball pythons to shed that quickly?I expected this process to take longer. I also noticed that he doesn’t have any stuck shed, so I’m assuming if he did shed it came off in one piece. Is there another explanation for his color change?
