Bad shed while on vacation
My ball python was in the process of shedding when I left for vacation. She was in the blue when I left, and when I returned she had a failed shed. She shed off her chin skin and it looks like one eyecap. The problem probably happened because the house sitter forgot to mist her cage for the ~5 days I was gone. I don't know what to do since I don't know how long shes been how she is. Here are some pictures: http://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...psufsid6od.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8zw2kg6o.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...psedf8xxpw.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1fnrscwn.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...pse3jvpwsd.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...psyp3v0jgf.jpghttp://i1311.photobucket.com/albums/...pscoosvtmy.jpg

Give her/him a soak for around an hour, then proced to gently help remove the now VERY loose skin. Repeat as needed. :) also keep her humidity slightly higher for a few days to help with shedding and make sure she is not dehydrated.

When my BP had a bed shed I got a warm damp towel and let him slide through it, and I applied little pressure and his shed came off very nicely.
