So I just went through my first shedding experience with my ball python. I noticed the shed early and adjusted my humidity accordingly (70%) which was measured by a digital hygrometer. He finally began shedding lastnight. I could hear him moving around in his tank for quite a while (30+ minutes) so I decided to see how he was doing. He was in his split log hide moving in circles trying to shed. He had managed to roll the skin just behind his head 3/4 of the way down his body but the skin on his nose/head wasn't coming off and he kept rubbing his nose on the log to get it off but with no avail. I did not want him to rub his nose raw so I put him in a tub to soak (for the first time) and managed to rub the rest of the shed off within 10 minutes. I was really trying hard to geta perfect first shed is this a common problem? Is it normal for them to try to shed inside their hide?
