    Shed problems

    Any suggestions for a stuck shed on a ball python besides extra humidity and soaking? I've tried both and she's still had that shed for a while. here's a pic of her soaking

    Put her in a warm damp pillowcase for an hour. Moving inside the case provides friction that should remove the shed.

    Ive had this issue before. The best thing that worked for me was to let the snake slither through a warm wet towel. Works really well.

    I put my pinstripe in a little tub just big enough for him to move around in but not so big he just and spread out his whole body in. Add warm water that comes up to about his mid body and place a washcloth in the bottom. Put the lid on the tub and let him be for about 45 minutes. Make sure you got a few holes in the lid also. Worked every time for me.
