So my ball python is acting kinda strange. He is acting rather lethargic and is not moving around alot. He has developed sort of a film over his eyes. Surelly hes not trying to hibernate or something?

Its most likely in shed.
What are your temps, humidity, cage dimensions, heat source, age and sex of your bp?

The eyes tend to go a milky white for a few days then clear up for a few days. He is most likely shedding. Don't handle him at all during this time frame, Handling can cause the skin he is going to shed to stick to the new skin creating a bad shed. Set him up a humid hide and make sure you have his humidity elevated a little bit to help him through this process.

Sounds like a shed. increase the humidity, his eyes should clear up[ in a couple days and he should shed shortly after that.

Sounds like the little guy is just about to shed, nothing to worry about. Just raise the humidity like everyone said. I just usually mist mine once a day when I notice they are about to shed.
