If a ball python's eyes are tinted blue, they are in shed. This means they are growing, or their scales are worn down and they are getting ready to shed their old skin. Soon after their eyes clear up again, they will shed their skin.
No, only animal feed. Bird Feed is just in the shed.
Yes, ball pythons' eyes can appear clouded when they are about to shed. This cloudiness is due to a layer of fluid that builds up between the old eye scale and the new one, which temporarily obscures their vision. It typically occurs a few days before shedding begins, and once they shed, their eyes will return to normal clarity.

Ball pythons typically develop their first set of teeth shortly after hatching, usually within the first few weeks of life. These teeth are small and curved, designed for gripping and holding onto prey rather than chewing. As they grow, ball pythons will shed their teeth periodically, but they generally have a sufficient number of functional teeth to capture and consume prey throughout their lives.
