Shed help...

hi. my ball python artemis has been in shed for 3 weeks. a week and a half ago she cleared up. but after a week and a half, NO SHED. she has a patch of old skin in the mid section of her body. When i was holding her her old skin split. any way,she looks terrible now... she's all wrinkled and nasty. is this normal for a bp to do this??:confused::confused:

alo, she has dropped in weight. two weeks ago she was 210g and today she is190g. is any thing wrong with her?

Anyone??

I would soak her in warm water for about half an hour to get the shed off! Usually they will shed in a day or two after that! You can repeat the bath daily if needed!

the drop in weight might be something of concern, but i'm sure theres other people that may have better help than me. I'm still pretty green with bps :(

Hi,

Yep, sounds like she has had a bad shed - and we have a sticky just for that. :salute:

**edit**

About the weight loss 20g really isn't a lot - has she had a poop or a pee between the weigh ins?

All of her skin is on her. face head and all.

do i manually shed her??? all her old skin is on. except a ripped section on her body.

Hi,

Did you read the sticky I linked to in my last post? It shgould really help.
