Thank you. I love him also. He has a personality that is awesome. More questions for you... Can we help him shed?? With my iguanas I would gently peel the dead skin back similar to peeling your skin when you get a sunburn. Is that ok around his head and tail??

I have done it with no problem. But first give him time to shed by himself, remember, humidity at 60-70%
If you need to soak him, do so for 1 or 2 hours, let him move and rub against a towel, and if the skin is stuck at the tail (and if its hydrated) you can peel it until you get it all, but as far as ive seen he is doing a good job.

I will send more pics tomorrow to update you on it. I'm misting his tank to increase the humidity. It's at less than 50% right now. We have also been soaking him due to me thinking he was dehydrated. Was that a mistake??

Hahaha its ok, nothing bad will happen, you dont have to do it anymore tho. As long as he has water he'll be ok. You can buy sphagnum moss, place it around the enclosure and make it moist. You can also put a damp towel on the top of the enclosure (i think you have screen top right? If so, the humidity escapes through there) dont cover the whole thing tho, let space for air to go in, an open the top at least once a day to get "new" air in. Any of those two methods will increase humidity, but for now i would say use the towel and see if it boosts the humidity.

Soaking while the snake is in shed can sometimes cause a "bad shed". This just means the skin comes off in pieces instead of one big piece. Not a big deal but in the future, you only need to soak the snake if it has stuck shed.

A healthy shed should be in one piece. The snake will roll it off like a sock. Not like lizards where it comes off in pieces. :)

Beautiful BP you have there! Get him some snug hides. He will thank you for it.

Someone else had suggested to put foil over half the top to keep the humidity in as well. I have done that, but the tank now looks ghetto. Lol. I'm thinking I will have to buy a glass top for it this weekend.
