Well, thanks to all for the helpful pointers. I guess I am overly concerned about my snakes well-being. I'm sure he's fine. After all, I fed him 2 days ago (the second time I've fed him since owning it) and he ate 3 pinky mice, which is also how many he ate the first feeding I gave him. He's a hungry little man, I think he's gonna be an enormous Floridana when he's grown. He's so young and already eating so much. I'm feeding him every 4 days right now, that's okay isn't it? I guess I'll forego taking it to the vet. The only reasons I wanted to go to the vet is to get it sexed and for a fecal test for parasites and such. Although, he eats so well, I doubt he has any internal problems. Another question, how often and how much should they defecate? He's got six pinkies in him right now, and as far as I could see/find in his terrarium, he's only pooped two LITTLE BITY pieces of black, and then a small ball of whiteness (when I went to pick it up out of there, it crumbled to a powdery substance-was this just mouse bones or what?)He ate the first three 7 days ago, and the other three 3 days ago. Is this normal? On to the pre-shed topic. It's been 4 1/2 days now since I noticed the cloudiness and dullness of his body. His eyes are NOT completely blue like you guys are describing. They're a little blue but definitely totally glossed over with opaqueness. How long do they stay like this before they get normal again until the point they shed? He has been pretty inactive the last few days, so I really hope this is what it is.
Once again, thanks for all the help you guys, you're great. I'm really glad I found this wonderful portal of herp information. Sorry for the rambling post.
