Re: My poor baby...
I rarely have bad sheds but recently my little pastel lesser had a pretty bad shed similar to yours just mine had his head skin off. I knew he was shedding and had his humidity up but he's really young is just a little dumb he's uh still figuring it out. But anyway what i did was put this softball sized rock with a ruff surface in his tub a night then cranked up his humidity. In the morning he had used it to get most of it off. I just had to assist and help peel the rest off. If you use a rock make sure its clean a safe shaped rock you know something that cant fall on him or hurt him.

You definitely need a humidity probe, lamps unfortunately dry up the air a lot.
And save up for a proper snake cage or tub, they are a lot easier to keep up temp and humidity. Tanks are for fishes haha
What type of enclosure do you recommend?? What is a "tub"?? Please keep in mind, I'm very ignorant when it comes to snakes.

We have a natural wood log in there and his water bowl has roughish exterior as well. I have some sandstone out in the back ward I could boil in water to clean. Would that be ok to use??

The only special thing about a snake cage is that is mostly lsed off except for a few air holes to keep humidity and heat in. They usually open in the front instead than the top.
AnimalPlatics make some really cool one but there are other makes.
I built my own, that's an option too.
A tub is just a plastic container. These are the easiest to keep, you would never have humidity problems but they are not very slightly.

A small storage tub.
Look at the top of the home page. There are stickies (permanent threads) on setting up various enclosures as well proper care sheets.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

No need to add anything. Just be sure the humidity is set.

Re: My poor baby...
Not need to soak yet. Give him a couple of days. If not u can put the snake in lukewarm water for 15-20 min. You can buy shed-ease and add it to the water as well. It worked for me

I like that setup. I'm thinking building one would be best. Can I build it for his max length now and close off a smaller area for him or would it be best to build as he get bigger??
