I have a 5 month old ball python who has been eating perfectly and seems very happy with the condition of the vivarium (90 degree hot spot, 80 cold, 75 ambient, and a general humidity of around 50). She has two hides, one on the cool side and one on the warm side. Water bowl with a very rocky tough edge to rub against. Air ventilation vents which she also rubs up against (blunt and plastic don't worry). She started shedding around 3 days ago, with a couple of bits of skin peeling off her and I found them around the vivarium. Upon a quick internet search I decided that the best way to help her would to be to up the humidity, so I've misted the tank 3/4 times since yesterday and 24 hours later (now) it's sitting at 70/80 humidity, temps still all the same.
She seems to have shed the skin off her head and the top of her neck well, but the majority of her body is yet to shed. I'd say she's still got another 80% to go. The skin looks very wrinkly and feels extremely weak, as if it was almost hanging off. But it just isn't coming off. She is still wandering around her viv quite happy, she's yawned a couple of times, and has been a little more hissy than normal due to the mists. She was due to feed today but I didn't want to interfere with her shedding process. I might be being impatient but I'd just like to make sure this goes okay.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Lewis.
