Weird shed?

    Weird shed?
    So I just walked in on my lesser in the middle of shedding, and it's a bit strange. In all my experience with snakes I've never seen it like this. I've always seen them come off in one whole piece, or large chunks. Right now, he just looks completely wrinkled, from tip to tail, with a few breaks in the old shed here and there, through which I can see the new ones. And he's rubbing against his branch like crazy.

    I'm just leaving him be for now, don't want to stress him out more... But this is my first shed with this guy. Something to be concerned about?

    He sounds dehydrated and should be soaked. If there isn't enough humidity during the blue stage, when they finally start to shed they can't . So I would soak him for about 20 min and then he should be good to go.

    Thank you. :D I keep his humidity between 50-55, and kicked it up to 68-70 when the blue phase began. Should I have bumped it higher? But I'll go get him out and give him a good soak right now!

    That did it. Came right off after the soak! :gj:

    Thanks again!
