    Shedding Question

    My bp is about 7 years old and back in the day he always had problems shedding in one piece.

    A few months ago I upgraded his tank which is much larger then the old and the first shed was a complete piece.

    Could it be that he really did have stretching room?

    Also, if I run into this problem again is it bad to put him in a clean bathtub with some warm water and help him?

    I did this a few times and it was almost like he loved it. Sorta like petting a dog.

    Thnx.

    Re: Shedding Question

    I don't think stretching room has anything to do with it, since the majority of mine shed INSIDE their hides. The most likely reason for the better shed, is that your humidity was in a more appropriate range. If you ever do have problems with shedding, this should help you out. http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=43403

    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand
