Incomplete Shed & Not Feeding....Help!

[AlextheBallPython]

My 6 month old BP had trouble with his last shed which started last Thursday. It seems he has not been able to remove all of the old skin. I know that the humidity level is most of the problem, but how can I help him get the rest of his skin off? This, of course, is affecting his eating too. He has not eaten in 1 month. Any advice would be a big help.

Now that I have removed the remaining skin, how long do I wait before trying to feed him?

Fix your husbandry and you won't have theses issues. Proper heat, humidity, water and hides. Get an appropriate sized tub with lid for the size of your snake. Fill tub with 2 to 3 inches of tepid water or until water almost covers your snake let soak for 30 to 40 minutes, and the skin will slid right off.

Get your husbandry under control

Feed him on his next scheduled feeding day.
