    Stuck belly shed. Rot? help!
    So! I have a ball python who i recently got a new huge cage for. Her first shed in it she had a hard time so i put her in warm water, it came off.. so i thought.

    Pictures would definitely help, though I think scale rot is normally red/brownish. Yellow around the tail may mean that your snake's tail didn't shed cleanly.

    Is there a good clean easy way to get the belly skin off?

    Best method I've come across works 99% of the time is ...

    Soak the snake in a secure rub / container for about 30 minutes and then get a wet , rough textured towel and feed the snake through the towel repeatedly .. all shed / dead skin will magically come off ..

    That doesn't look like stuck shed to me. It looks like a pink belly going into another shed cycle, or a mild burn.

    Are you using an under-tank heating pad, and if so, do you have a thermostat for it?
