First shed
I am experiencing my ball pythons first shed with me. I have been misting a few times each day, put some moss in his hides, and I've been checking up on him frequently. He's i. The blue stage and has been for 3 days now. Just wanting to know if there is anything else I can do to make it go smoothly?

Re: First shed
Just keep checking humidity, I usually start misting a bit once they clear up from being in blue and works great right before they shed.

As mentioned above , it works great once the snake is looking normal again , just keep misting each day until it sheds.
We're presuming you know that they go "blue" or " fade" or whatever for a while and then go back to normal ( even their eyes) and then a few days or so later they will shed ....

Yeah In my experience I find misting before out of blue just is too much un needed moisture

He's out of blue and exploring his cage so I'm expecting him to shed any day now! I misted the cage and put moss in. It looks and feels pretty humid!

Re: First shed
Recently one of my snakes shed. I checked in on his tank to check humidity and he peed, so I took the opportunity to clean the tank. My snake reeked of snake pee, so I put him in a bin with warm water. As soon as I put him back in the tank, he started to work on loosening up the skin on his face. I'm not sure if putting him in the water provoked him to shed, but it was the cleanest shed I've ever had.

Sometimes a good soak in warm water creates wonders for shed or even stuck shed

Re: First shed
I just soaked my bp for about 10 minutes. Hoping it helps his process.

Soaking your BP is something that is not recommended nor necessary.
