    please help with shedding
    My ball python is going through her second shed with me and once again its not going that well :tears: the temps are right and the humidity is 60%, Should I increase the humidity and if so to what? I will be soaking her to get the rest of the skin off of her but what could I do to prevent this from happening in the future

    Well... first off, humidity during a shed should always be bumped up to 70%. 60 is the high end of daily humidity and is too low for a shed.
    To do this, you can make a 'moist hide' out of a plastic container with a hole in the lid and a layer of damp moss inside.

    Also, placing a damp paper towel over part of the ventilation spots can help with shed humidity boosts. :)
