    Quick answer this question please!!!
    Ok, so my BP already went through the blue eye faze and all that and now he's in the process of shedding. I just got home from school and found him outside of his hide and his face has like peeling skin on his face. It looks like it hurts but I don't know what to do. I feel bad. Is this normal, I can't provide picture because my cell phone doesn't take a clear enough picture. Explain the process of shedding please what happens and what the BP looks like.

    Thanks

    Just spray around the enclosure with room temp water. Dont spray him directly. It will come off...

    He still hasn't shed his skin. :confused:

    If he doesn't shed his skin do I have to physically peel the skin off? I saw the guy on "8 ball pythons" doing it. I noticed that he had peeling skin on his face and it's still there since yestarday at this time. When will he decide to peel it off himself or will I end up doing it?

    If it's been a few days and he still hasn't shed you can try the warm water bathing method outlined on 8ballpythons website.

    What is your humidity at? Do you have stuff in the tank for him to rub on? After the blue eye faze, there's still a couple of days without a shed. Give it another day, I wouldn't be surprised if you woke up tomorrow morning and there's a shed in the tank.

    What is your humidity? Can you give him a humid hide? Have you read the sticky that was offered you? :oops:

    Still no shed. Did the humid hide. There's plenty of things for him to rub his face on. He's just sitting in his hide doing nothing about it. It's been 3 days since I noticed the skin that was peeling off his face. I need him to shed but I don't think he will. :'(
