Shedding

[devinluttrell]

My BP shedded today, it shedded in chunks, it that bad? and its not done shedding, its been like 10 hours and it still has some left. should I be worried?

A good shed will come off all in one piece. if a shed comes off in pieces then the humidity probably wasn't high enough in the cage. I would mist the cage really well (try to get the cage up to 70%-80% during shed)

pieces of stuck shed can lead to issues. Check out this thread on bad sheds: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...hed-No-problem

If you keep you bp in a tank/terrarium then during a shed, cover as much as the screen as you can (atleast 75%) with a damp towl, move his water closer to the heat and mist regularly. I mist with warm water so it doesn't shock my bp if it lands on him. Mist the glass, bedding, tops of hides, etc and keep an eye on your humidity. Don't let it drop below 65-70%.
