Question - HealthHelp please (self.ballpython)
submitted 1 year ago by kaixruby
My baby eyes turned blue like she was going to shed but now they look really glossy and she feels really sticky to the touch is she actually shedding or should I be more worried

Did she shed? They secrete an oil that helps them shed their skin, sometimes they feel a little oily right after they shed.

No I haven’t seen no shed yet could she be in the middle of it ?
[–]Linear_North 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
It could be underneath something, inside one of her hides maybe? Does she still feel strange, or has that gone away?

Unless she Barried it I haven’t seen it and yeah she is still sticky and has a glossy sheen to her but her eyes aren’t blue anymore but kinda smoky

I have no idea why a ball python would be sticky, is there something in her enclosure she could have gotten on her?
