Humidity is key to proper sheds .... Your ball python should be kept in 50 - 60% humidity on the norm, when you notice the pink belly or blue phase you can bump the humidity up to around 70% and it will do wonders

Well this got out of hand quickly.... I was mainly just wondering if there is anything wrong with handling right after they've shed, maybe their skin is still fragile/sensitive I don't know. Like I said it was probably a dumb question.

Not a dumb question. Like I said, they can be more sensitive, but as long as it is just handling and not climbing trees or something (idk that's what I had for rough surface) should be OK just be gentle :D
Re: handling ball python post shed?
My albino male doesn't mind being handled during shed one bit. "I've herd :,D" that it sometimes even helps them shed faster, as does feeding while in shed. As far as after, with mine, the scales are much easier to lift so I'm careful about that. But his behavior doesn't change.
