    Shed Problems

    My bp has been in its shed process now for over 2 weeks. The head cap has shed completely removing both eye caps however it has not shed the rest of its body. It has been a few days now that it has not she the rest of its body and im getting concerned. I was thinking about adding aspen shavings to help hold moisture in order to increase humidity.

    My snake went through probably his 4th shedding and it came off in pieces. It has been about 4 or 5 weeks and there are still little bits of his skin on. Any recommendations? Is this normal?
