    Bad shed in progress. Help.

    So I have been sick for awhile and unfortunately neglecting my snakes I went to check on them and noticed my pastave had started to shed but in a couple pieces. I increase the humidity by spraying tub down very heavily. She has shed her head and eye caps but just past her head she has shed in three pieces. She is only a 1/4 started so I hope I caught it time...
    Any input would be appreciated...

    Add a good size clump of damp moss to each hide. Keep it damp until the shed is complete.

    You can get nice clean moss at the big box pet stores.

    Ive used this for a long time and have really liked it.

    Do this on top of the regular misting. This is a tip Ive used a long time and it works great. I keep it damp during a shed until it is complete and then I will allow the moss to dry out before I make the moss damp again.

    Re: Bad shed in progress. Help.

    Try using a bowl or tub with a lid of the appropriate size and put a small amount of room temperature water in it and allow the animal to soak for about half an hour to a hour. Make sure there is air flow! Monitor the temperature of the water and don't allow it to get too cold.
    Stay in peace and not pieces.
