Re: Help not sure if this shed is gonna be a good one!
that shed aid stuff is baloney.
Soaking in water in a tupperware and pillowcase methods are best.
Whatever you do, keep an eye on your snake. There have been people who have tried to "soak" a bp in so much water that the snake had to swim rather than just resting in a small puddle, and the snake got tired and drowned.

Yea don't waste the ca$h on the shed aid stuff. Make sure when you soak, the water only comes half way up the snakes body, so if he's 3 inches thick, put him in an inch 1/2 of water. Use warm water and keep him where you can see him. A good soak and wipe with a towel should work wonders. You can repeat this process tomorrow.
That humidity reading doesn't seem right. Do you have another humidity reader that you can use in his tank to compare? Maybe the one you're using is off?

Many new ball owners think they shed when they just went back to a somewhat normal color. Give him few more days with some nice humidity and he will shed.

Re: Help not sure if this shed is gonna be a good one!
my albino was having a bad shed. Soaked him in 85 degree water for 10 mins and most of the skin came off. He was a little testy so tomm he will be given another 10 min warm bath to finish it off. I try to give my bps a at least one soak a week.
