Shedding Problem?

[Toasty]

It's been 3 days since my BP was flakin from his head. He has since rubbed those pieces off onto the walls of his home. However, Im gettin a lil worried, since the rest of it doesn't seem to wanna peel away. He's been rubbin and rubbin but to no avail. I cant seem to maintain a humidity level above 50%. Its constant at 50% unless i mist inside at which point it gets to 75% for about 30 minutes. Should I worry about him not shedding the rest off yet or is this simply new owner worries?

If your bp has retained the majority of it's shed, I'd advise soaking. I get a small container and fill it up to about 3/4 of it's body with luke warm water. (we don't want to freeze it or cook it nor swim for it's life) I usually throw in an old clean wash cloth as well. Put the snake in and close the container. Let em soak for an hour and then use the wash cloth to gently remove the shed. If it doesn't all come off try again tomorrow, with the same procedure. It's worked very well for me the few times I've need it. Good luck.

Congrats on the shed. (next time I would limit the soak to one hour though )
