Shedding problem!
My snake is having some problems with shedding.
It take a longer time. And it shed it in small pieces.
Is it normal, if not what should I do?

It's not stable, I do my best to make it high enough, but not for a long time.
I would like to know to to keep it in the same level too

No that is not normal for a shed to come off in pieces, that indicates a humidity problem, too low. You can try providing a humid hide for your snake to use when it is in shed or seal up its enclosure as beat as you can to keep the humidity up.

OK I will do that, thank you

I have a towel over half of my BP's screen lid, which helps to trap the humidity. After I mist his enclosure, I also mist the side of the towel that faces into his enclosure, which keeps the humidity much more stable. Hope this helps!

You can also give the BP a warm bath to get the shed pieces off. Put the snake in a sterilite tub with warm water halfway up its body. Leave it in there for an hour or so. When you take it out, the shed will all come off easily by hand.
