    Bad Shed

    I have a spider ball with a bad shed it all did not come off. It is totally clear near the head just mid way down not all came off. But him in a small box with water for about 20-30 mins all that did was piss her off is it ok to just let it come off with next shed it does not seem to be bugging her at all. She has always had a good shed this is first messed up one

    You can try putting the snake in a damp pillow case or try letting her run through a damp towel to get the shed off. What was your humidity at when your snake was in shed? I shoot for at least 70% humidity when my snake is in shed.

    My ball python had some stuck shed the last time he shed. This time I made sure the humidity was at least 70% and he had a beautiful complete shed for me. You can try some of the methods I suggested to help her.
