    Shedding help?
    Hey there, shedding question.

    I am a new BP owner, and have had my new girl for a few weeks now. She just had her first vet visit last week and did great.

    However, I noticed a couple days ago the top of her head is starting to look cloudy, alot like she is about to shed. But, the rest of her body looks normal, no cloudiness at all. I also noticed her dunking her head underwater in her water dish a few times as well. Due to space constraints, her dish isn't quite big enough for her to soak in. Do you think I should soak her in a tub for a bit? Or should I wait for the rest of her to get cloudy?

    Don't soak her, it removes oils from their skin and makes the shed worse.

    Here is the sticky about shedding: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...edding-Process

    And here is one about what you can do if it goes wrong: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...hed-No-problem

    The weirdest thing is that there was another guy Mackenzie in my grade when I was in high school. Since then I have yet to meet another Mackenzie. I usually just go by Mack.

    Also, MRS :(
