    Ball Python shedding help please! im new

    Hello i got my ball python about 5 weeks ago, she is very healthy and eats once every week. I recently got back from a 1 week trip, i came back to my ball python starting her shed. I was kinda late on trying to get the humidity up. she is about 2 and half feet long too. I am very worried about her skin, it doesn't look right and her shed looks like its going horrible. Her shed is like all over the place! I put a towel on top of her cage to try to keep the humidity higher i also spray her and the tank few times a day. She hated when i sprayed her with the water she tried to bite me. Please help ima post some pictures i took yesterday.

    this was her weeks before shed when i first got her

    Whoa! First thing, RELAX. Some stuck shed isn't a huge cause for concern unless you have several layers of eye caps building up over the eye. Just keep the humidity up with misting. You could also offer some damp moss or ball of paper towels in the hide for an extra humid spot. Do you have plenty of things for the snake to rub on to help shed itself? How are you measuring tour humidity? Don't stress and don't try to peel it off. It will come. Be patient and use this as a learning experience.
