    Can illness affect shedding?
    I have a ball python who's growing rather fast and shedding pretty frequently. His other sheds have been "perfect"- in one piece. He shed today and got most of it off but there were a few pieces remaining. I haven't really changed anything with his husbandry aside from bumping the temp on the warm side by about two degrees (92) and misting the tank enough to keep the humidity around 65. I did that because he's had a respiratory infection. He's well on the mend, but he WAS sick and he's still on antibiotics. Could that affect his shedding at all?

    I am not asking because I'm worried; he seems perfectly fine. I just want to know for my own education. Thanks. :)
