Hi Tonya,

Welcome to RTB. Yes your boa is starting to shed. You do not have to give him warm baths if you do not want to but they do help.
I only do the warm baths if my boas are having a bad shed. However I do mist my boas & cages every day with warm water when they are going to shed. Your boas eyes will clear up and then in 2 to 4 days he/she will shed.
For feeding I would feed your boa 1 per-killed rat every 10 to 14 days. If you can switch your boa over to frozen thawed rat.
You should wait until your boa has shed before you try feeding him/her.

I have a lot of care sheets on my website that will help you out.
Just click on my banner to go to my website. Then click on my "Care Sheets page"
If you do not find the info you need there just post here or e-mail me anytime.

Take care,
Tom
