He isn't blind. He is "blue". That means he is starting the shedding process. Snakes eyes will get cloudy once the shedding process starts. They will go back to clear in a few days and then shed his skin a few days after that.

The eyes turn grey just before the shed. This is nothing to worry about, just a layer of skin loosening up. They will brighten up again when the skin is gone.
If the eyes turn grey for awhile (like a week) he may be having trouble shedding. Make sure the cage humidity level is high enough and give him something rough to rub against.

If they are not grey all the time, they might look grey but they are milky white sort of, that means that its about to shed, it will stay that way until it sheds. Best bet is do not hold him and careful even opening the cage because when its shedding its eyes are "glazed over" or milky white color and since they only see heat they cannot seen nearly as well when its shedding.

Our ball python eyes have become grey when he is getting ready to shed.

I would agree with the first answer, usually the eyes become opaque just before shedding as the top layer of the eye is lost in the shed as well. If your python doesn't shed soon though, or has shed and the eye is still opaque you need to have it seen too by a reptile vet to ensure its vision doesn't become impaired.

yes he is about to shed which means he will not eat or move around that much or look very active, their eyes get a translucent skin around them-thats the old skin you may see a contrast of his skin fading darker. I own a snake and when her eyes turn slightley grey and doesn't eat is because she is about to shed. Don't worry abut it, just make sure that you snake has something jagged or slightley sharp to rub against to break the old skin off its nose where snakes start shedding.

don't worry! it is no big deal! he is not blind! he(or she) is simply getting ready to shed. no offense but if you are asking simple questions as these then you should really do more research about the species. if you don't have time, find someone who does. hope this helps!

DUH... oh and just in case shed means grow out of its old skin into new skin, yeah, learn about an animal before you get it
