    Getting worried

    Well I have had my baby Ball for like a month and a half now, or even a little longer, and the day i got him the breeder said he would shed within a week. well He looks extremely dull, and his eyes havent turned blue or milky yet and he just wont shed, his skin is loose in parts and AHHHH man , I don't know I would just feel a lot better if he would shed for me man.


    How long can they take to shed as babies and should I be worrying


    Thanks

    Ryan

    Each snake is individual, hows your humidity? Did a breeder sell it to you before it's first shed?

    She said he had shed already, The humidity is about 80 percent and the warm side is about 90, well that is the glass reading where the uth is.

    Humidity a little high...can lead to bacteria, scale rot, ect. 60% is good. Give him more time, he has to shed sometime.
