    BP Wont Shed
    My ball python started the blue phase 2 weeks ago and it cleared up maybe 2-3 days after and then the skin got all wrinkly. This is the first shed with me as the owner and im starting to get a little worried because i cant find anything on the internet about it. As soon as he got blue eyes i raised his humidity to 70 and been keeping at it ever since but no sign of removing the old skin. Can anyone help me out?
    Blue phase start date was 2/25

    Give him a few more days to pop the shed.

    Just give the viv a decent spray two or three times daily until you see the shedded skin ... usually in a messy clump under one of the hides ..

    How does it look now though ?

    Does it look ok or is it wrinkly??


    Did you try spraying well three times daily ?

    Have you looked carefully under each hide ??

    A photo would be helpful if you’re still worried .

    Agree, was thinking the same thing, in which case, waiting for the snake to shed is pointless...they NEED help at this point.
