My snakes eyes look different

So I'm a brand new snake owner and I was wondering why my snakes eyes look so different I am afraid is some sort of infection or maybe not enough humidity. Thanks in advance for the help!

If you are talking about the cloudiness, it appears to be going into shed. Look at its belly to see if it looks the same ish. If so, you should be ok.

Thanks, her belly looks the same to me. Also I heard ball pythons don't eat during shed and I'm supposed to be feeding her for the first time on Wednesday

Some will and some won't. Mine eats regardless. Are you feeding live or f/t-prekilled?

Personally I would till after he sheds then. And I would try to get him on f/t food if possible. Makes it a lot easier to keep rats in the freezer for use when needed and less dangerous for the snake. If he was eating f/t I would suggest leaving one in with him while he is in blue and see if he will take it. I would NOT leave a live rat in with him.

Yes, I wouldn't feed while her eyes are cloudy, she wont be able to see properly and might get frightened. Note, her eyes will go clear again and it will still be a few days before she sheds.
She'll have a better appetite after she's shed.

Shedding is a normal an natural process in snakes, and is much morefrequent in young growing animals. Nothing to worry about! Just elevate the humidity a little and watch out for little bitts of skink that may be caught, especially around the tail tip and eye caps. If any of the aforementioned maladies occur, I'm sure there are many on this site who can walk you through the process of removing the excess bits. I gentle bath in lukewarm water reaching halfway up the side of the snake can be beneficial. I don't feed most of my snakes during the shedding process, but it is not incorrect to do so, and a refusal during this time period is nothing to be worried. Keep handling to a minimum. Your snakes first shed with you is almost always a good thing, indicating that they are growing properly. Feel free to cone back with any questions and problems. Shedding snakes are often voracious after shedding and will feed with no hesitation. Post-shed is also a great time to do a photo shoot because your snakes with be looking their best and brightest/.
