    Any one else have that one bp that has trouble shedding?

    My ball pythons are kept on a homemade rack system and all except Enchantress sheds with no problems. They all shed in one piece but Enchantress, she will get her nose off then will sit there for days until she looks like a crinkle fry and I get scared and step in to intervene. I then have to soak her for a while and then let her crawl through a wet cloth to try to shed her and she stresses so bad and it stresses me but I don't know what else to do. They are kept with a humidifier in the room and when I notice they are in shed I add a little water to their reptibark bedding to increase humidity and it works for all but Enchantress every time she has shed for me we have to go through the soaking process. Anyone else have this problem?

    Yeah my snake is not as established as yours but she has been having some issues. My newest that i got 2 months ago has shed twice and both times in chunks. I still havent gotten the latest off of her and her temps and humidity is fine. Actually wanted to do a morph check on here because a few concerning BOI's popped up about the seller after i got her and it is always good to double check, but i never wanted people to think im a bad owner because she doesnt shed right :/ the rest of my snakes shed fine and all in one piece since i got them but she is having some trouble.

    Yeah she is the only one that has trouble and is kept on the same rack. I was talking to the breeder and apparently her father has trouble too and sheds in pieces and another spider bp he has does the same so maybe it has something to do with her having spider in her. I kinda think that she gets her nose off then is too tired to finish so she just lays there. I actually just put a deposit down on another bp that has the spider gene so we'll see how well she sheds after I get her home.
