    Helping my BPs shed
    What do you all put in a bp enclousure for them to rub against to help them shed? I recently got two more BPs making it a total of 3. With the first one i had a hide from petco that is kind of rough and it works fine ti help him start the shed. The problem is it was like $17 and i plan on getting more snakes and dont really want to spend that much on every snake. What do you put in there to help them shed?

    Nothing. She has her dog bowl hides, substrate and water bowl and I've never had an issue with her being unable to shed.

    Humidity is all that really matters when it comes to shedding. They can rub against themselves if need be.

    This is how I house all of my BP's, I've only once had a bad shed and that was caused by low humidity. As you can see there isn't much in the cage and nothing overly abrasive.

    BTW the hides you see in the picture above are great, and cheap:
