    I bought my Bp june 4th he ate the 6th he wouldnt eat the 10th I noticed his eyes turning blue the 10th also knew right then why he wouldnt eat... eyes are still very very blue... came home from being out of town this weekend and one of my cats had knocked a speeker on his tank and cracked it as yesterday and today have gone on the crack has gotten much much worse going almost from top to bottom of tank. I have a bigger home I was going to put him in anyway when he was done sheding, I really dont think it can wait. What will it hurt if I move him now the other tank is already setup for the perfect shed. At this point I dont think I have much of a choice. I feel like the tank will shater and hurt him. anything and everything I can find out right now will be great......

    one more thing his eyes have been blue since friday my brothers never stayed blue that long.... what do you think?

    he is also one of this years hatchlings he is only 17 inches long I dont know how many times he has shed before

    no don't waite move your ball python in to the other setup. Iwould consider this perticular instance fine for moving durning a shed if there is a chance of it getting hurt.

    the period of "bluing" is dependant on the perticulare snake some turn blue and shed in a few days some it takes a week or so. give your snake time and learn its perticular shedding patterns.
