is it ok to soak my bp oncea day one her eues turn blue to help with sheds? i soak her for about 20 mins. and mist her cage more than usual. is this ok? it seemed to do alot last time. and i spray extra under her hide so its real humid. all thiss ok?

Everything except the soaking is fine. They dont like to be moved around when they are in shed. Just keep the humidity higher than normal like you are doing and it will be fine.

If the humidity is kept between 60% and 70% for young Ball Pythons, you should not have to soak them for a proper shed to take place.

If you cannot get the humidity high enough, try making a humid hide box and placing it in a neutral area in the cage.

Also, you should only mist once a day, the excess moister needs time to evaporate so you do not get mold or fungal growth. This can lead to other problems like scale rot etc...

Handling your BP during shed phase can possibly cause undue stress, I would only do this if it is necessary.

Hope this helps and good luck
