Hello all,
My ball python (about 10 months old) got really sick with what we thought was IBD, went to the vet, on antibiotics now that seem to be working (full story on another post that I can post a link to). Anyway, his eyes cleared up about 3-4 days ago. His belly skin seems very loose and dry, so it seems as though he has a full body shed stuck on. He might not have the energy yet to start his own shed. (Also, his humidity is around 50-60%). We've had to bathe him twice a day to help with defecation and dehydration, so I'm worried that those baths dried out the oils he needed to shed. I don't know whether to stop baths to help him shed or to keep bathing him to help with the constipation & dehydration.
Will his shed start to flake off or should I help him start?
Also, should I use one of those "use this to help your snake with stuck shed" products?
