    Small Stuck Shed

    I just picked up my first ball python on Sunday. An 08 male mojave. He shed the day before I got him but he has 2 or 3 very small pieces of stuck shed. I dont want to stress him out with handling so should I leave him? Or soak him?

    If they aren't too big I would just leave it. Up the humidity and maybe he will get it off by himself.

    soak him for 15-30 minutes than let him crawl through a towl, the stuck shed should come right off. be sure he shed his eyecaps also. after the shed gets off, let him be he will be alot happier fully shedded.
    What kaorte said applys also, if you dont think its big enough to cause any problems than let him be.
