I'm in desperate need of help!

[brikwall96]

I have a kind of big bp. Haha I mean he's not full grown but he's not a baby...anyway, I used to have him in a 10 gallon tank with a hide and a Waterdish. He was on Repticarpet then. Now I upgraded his tank to a 20 gallon long with a bigger hide, and two water dishes....threre is also a decoration in there too...any way, his last shed was last night....well he got his nose shed off . So he has a full body stuck shed . He is on Aspen bedding now. And I spray it down every now and them. Wtf happened? I'm seriously stressed out because of this

If you are using a screen top then that could account for your humidity drop. Try covering the top of the tank. I believe there is a DIY thread about this, I just use a damp towel. You can also provide a humidity hide to help prevent this in the future. For now, I would give him a little more time to try to shed on his own and then if he doesn't give him a soak and let him move through a damp cloth. That will get rid of the rest of the stuck shed.

Good luck!

What happened is your humidity is too low and your tank will need some modifications to help with that.

For now here's what i do with stuck sheds....

Sterilite tub with lid no holes
1 to 1/2 inches of 85 degree water
Towel in the bottom of tub for the snake to rub on
A half log hide is good for one thing, helping snakes shed
Adding one helps them rub that old shed right off.

Soak for 30 minutes and replenish with more 85 degree water for 30 more minutes.
After that the shed should slide off easily.
Make sure when you help it off that you pull from the head towards the tail

When you get to the tail make sure your over a towel or something that cleans easily, they tend to dump their load when the shed comes off of the cloaca.
Trust me when I say you don't want to pull the shed off with the snake over your lap

You don't mention what heat source you use, or how you regulate it, or how you measure the temps. That'd be helpful.

The above posters have mentioned great ways to get this stuck shed off, and I'm sure you'll be getting good advice on how to modify the tank to hold proper humidity so it doesn't happen again. Also, you could put in a humid hide for him to help with shedding too.

Also, we love pics.

Sorry about the pics I'm on my iPad so I cant really do a lot of flash stuff

That's fine. You've got some time before he sheds again to change things up a bit.
