I justed wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice regarding my ball python.

Just to recap my python was having a bad shed and his head and eye caps wouldn't shed. Well I did get the shed off his head with much soaking and misting. But then he still wouldn't eat. Well about 4 days ago his eyes went cloudy so I started to mist the enclosure to bring up the humidity. Which was a tip you gave me as well as the heating sources I was using. I watched the humidity gauge and it was up. Then last night I noticed him starting to shed under his chin and within 2 hours he had completely shed his whole skin and he looks great. I imagine tonight I will have to get a mouse for him. He hasn't eatin in about 4 weeks.

I do have a question though. Will one small mouse be enough since he hadn't eatin in 4 weeks or should I just waite to see how he does with one mouse?

Again, Thanks
