can ne one tell me the way u can tell ur snake is gonna have a bad shed

You humidity is not correct. Get your humidity up to 70% during shed time or use a humid hide and your snake should shed fine.


Please type properly next time. People will take you much more seriously.

wowthatwashardtoread.

you can't really tell if they are going to have a bad shed... but you can avoid one by upping your humidity to 70% misting your tank/tub really helps raise humidity

sorry about the poor writing, I'm just kinda sketched out because my snake is unbelievably scaley and he has a good amount of wrinkles around his tail and his mid point, i dont no if that sounds right or not

the more info you share, the more info we have to assist you

mist his enclosure and give him a nice soak in a warm tub of water i use an ice cream bucket with warm water which - if my snake were laying flat on the bottom, his head would be out of the water easily - i leave them in for 20 minutes and put them back into their heavily misted enclosure. repeat daily if you feel it's necc.

if i put him in something with warm water he doesnt stay in and he wont let me force him in, and when i rub my hand down his body toward his tail i hear a cracking sound kinda scares me

....do you have any kind of smaller plastic container with a lid?....

Put a little water in the container(halfway up the snakes body)....put your snake in the container...put the lid on the container....put the container in the enclosure......check back in 30 minutes and your snake should not be cracking anymore and hopefully it will have shed a bit more of its skin.

it hasnt shed any skin yet though

and thanks

don't use warm water! just room temp. what feels warm to us might be too warm for them.

why exactly is his skin cracking though does that mean he will be shedding soon or does this not happen often
