My ball python's eyes have clouded up so I guess the pre-shed cycle has begun. The color on his body doesn't seem faded yet but I guess that's to come right? Anyway, at this point should I avoid handling him or can I still handle him up until a day or so before the actual shed. I know that about 24 hours before the shed the eyes clear back up so he's not at that point yet. I've read that actual process can take up to a week so is it safe to say that handling is out of the question from now until the shed? Please let me know with any advice. Thanks!
