New bp humidity/shedding question
I just got a new baby ball python a few days ago and he seems to be settling in quite nicely, but i got him from petco and he looks like hes about to shed and he has a bit of dry skin on his snout, the other bp in the enclosure was having a hard time shedding so i figuired the humity was off in their enclosure. Right now hes happy in his 20l and i just got the temps in his tank stable and on track, ive got the humity bumped up to 70% while hes shedding. My question is since hes been in a dry enviornment should i take any extra steps before he sheds to ensure a proper shed?

As long as the dish is available to him and you have the ambient humidity at around 70% he'll do what he needs to. Mine has never soaked, and he hates getting wet. My friend has one who absolutely adores water, and he'll enjoy a little swim in the bathtub every now and then. It just depends on the snake.

As long as they get it all off, it's a good shed. Just because it's not in one piece doesn't mean anything in my opinion. (Although they are cool to keep afterwards)
