Hey everybody!

Just a simple one i'm sure but here goes! I just got a baby ball he's about two months old and on tuesday we noticed his eyes turned white. Now its our first snake but we've done enough reading and comon sense tells that he's going to shed, I've been spraying couple times a day and leaving him alone b/c he hasn't been coming out of his hide. Tonight I checked him out and his eyes are clear again but theres no shed skin in the aquarium. Its only 10 gallons and hes on green carpet so i wouldve found it! Any thoughts?

They go foggy and then clear again, it's normal. When the eyes go from white to clear, it's an indication that the snake will shed within the next couple of days.

...So, he hasn't shed his skin yet, but he should do it very soon!
