Ball python not shedding.
My adult female is not shedding, she has been in the blue phase for 4 days now and is still not shedding. I only had her for a month and is new to bp. Is this normal. I am rising the humidity to 80. It was 55 to 60. Her skin is loose. Can she die with a bad shed.

Completely normal. Sometimes they can take upwards of a week and a half to complete a shed cycle. Keep the humidity around 70% or so and you should be fine.

Yep, can take longer than that to shed. Just keep up the humidity. Your snake will then go back to a more normal colour just before it's about to come off.

Re: Ball python not shedding.
She is in the blue phase though, will it still take a week at the blue phase? I keep the humidity at 80 but I don’t keep the bedding wet.

They all vary somewhat .. once the eyes clear and the colour returns then it could be anywhere between 2 and 7 days before the skin is actually discarded .( apart from those pesky Albinos when it’s damn near impossible to tell LoL ) .
With Royals you generally find the shed in a rolled up mess under one of the hides ..
I spray the viv a couple of times daily the moment I notice the eyes have gone clear . Perfect sheds every time.
