How long have you had her? Sometimes a first rough shed will be the result of previous stress and/or poor husbandry before the snake came into your hands. Maintaining a consistent, decent (~50%) level of humidity should definitely help with the next shed. I wouldn't fret about it too much.


The enclosure looks nice. Is there a similar hide/cave on the other side of the enclosure? And how are you measuring temps at each end?

EDIT: Oh....and she's very pretty! Looks like a nice sized young'un to me. :)

I only had her for a month. Yes, there is another one. I'm using an accurite on the hot end and another on the cool side, also a flukkers in the middle. Should I try and help the shed by soaking her?

Yes, you can soak her if you want. If it's just a little patch of skin here or there, it isn't critical that she be soaked...but it won't hurt her to do it.


Sounds like you've got a really nice set up. I'm sure her next shed will go better for you. :)

Thanks.I heard I hould have it up to 70% during sheds. I'm having problems keeping it up past 62%. So i've been misting it every 3-4 hours. I'll give it another day or so before soaking.

If you can maintain a consistent, constant humidity between 50-60%, you really don't need to mist or do anything extra during shedding time. Going to heroic efforts to get the humidity up to 70% is really only necessary if it has been dropping below 40% and fluctuating a lot between sheds.

As for THIS shed...with just a little bit left stuck on...I think you're doing fine at 60%. She'll either rub it off herself over the next day or two, or you can soak her to try and get it off.

Yeah your right. I woke up thi morning to find she shed more off. And my 1st poop encounter,I thought she would never go.
