I just got a male ball, and he's great! perfectly healthy, eats gr8,etc.
Now he's shedding but Its been 2 weeks and he still hasn't shed. His eyes are clear. Is there anything I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions?

Did his belly turn pink, eyes turn blue, and color become dull? How long since his eyes cleared up?
I've found that sometimes it takes a little longer to shed if the humidity isn't quite high enough. I mist the tubs when my snakes are about to shed and they do great.
his belly is white. The whole lower half of his body has shed. I was away for like 3 days, and when i came back, i noticed that he had started shedding so i really don't know when his eyes cleared. Its been 2 weeks since he's started, and i gave him 2 baths. Idk why he's not. When i lift his hiding place up, He is like....very white! It is most likely the humidity but i can't turn it up any because he's in the basement and it gets a lil musty when the it goes up
Can you mist just his enclosure? Or I would give him a soak and then gently peel the shed off. The shed should just about fall off if he's soaked enough.
ok thanks. This is my first snake so i was like freakin out. But he eats totally fine so... thats always a HUGE
