    Shedding Issues/Questions

    Okay so I picked up my first ball python last Friday,
    When I picked him up he was getting ready to shed (eyes blue, etc). After about two days of having him his eyes went back to normal but his skin still hasn't shed, I soaked him yesterday for a little and it didn't do anything. I am really not to sure about what to do, please any advice would be great.

    Currently Housed in
    110 qt tub
    65-70% humidity
    86-90 degrees on hot side
    75-80 on cool side
    2 hides
    1 water bowl large enough to soak
    1 decoration to rub on
    lots of fake plants
    I am using paper towels currently for substrate
    Ate last Friday

    More will chime in but your husbandry looks fine. Don't need to soak as I understand that can acuatlly hinder the shed process. Mine can take up to a week or so after clearing up before she decides to shed. Just let her/him do their thing and don't give it any more stress baths.

    Just relax and keep an eye on the humidity, and he should be fine.
