Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

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/.
