Ball python hatchling just diarrhea'd all over me?

Shed cycles are far more difficult to see the signs of in white snakes...now you know.

Best way that I confirm whether or not a snake is in shed is in a DARK room, use a tiny flashlight & shine across the arc of snake's eye...this shows if it's milky or not.
Often their tummy scutes appear to have a double-edge too, when you look close.

If you just found new pieces of shed & he's "crinkly" it's a pretty good bet that you missed the signs...what's his humidity now? Have you raised it?

Everyone makes some mistakes with snakes- it even rhymes , just concentrate on what he needs...you'll learn to trust each other, with any luck.

Yeah I really messed up on his humidity. :-//////// Not to mention, my area is normally extremely hot and humid but we recently entered fall, and humidity has decreased a lot within the past 1-2 weeks, and I didn't realize how big of a deal that could make a shed.
He's not going through a good shed right now.

I basically soaked him for 20 minutes, and I used the towel method but he absolutely hated it, hissed and nipped at me. I didn't even get it all off, he still has stuck shed on his head, so I just misted his enclosure. :-/

This poor boy. I really want to facilitate positive interactions with him but I feel like we're off to a really rocky start.
