Always Has A Bad Shed...

[CCDK]

Ive Had My male ball python for over a year. When I got him the guy told me he had one bad shed a week before i bought him. but it seems like he has always has bad sheds. He honestly looks like he was run over or stomped on. He dont Ball up he just "S"'s him self tightly because his body will not allow him to. I love him alot and just want to know if anyone has any advise on what i can do to help him shed better.

Humidity is your answer.
I'd give him a soak!
Check out the care sheet to see if your temps and enclosure is right.
You came to the right place for help!

A few days before he sheds his eyes will cloud up. This is the moment that you want to increase humidity. I dump about a half a cup of water into the substrate right on top of the heater. This makes it almost 100% humidity for about a day. About 4 days later your snake will shed. By the time he sheds the humidity is back to normal. And i get perfect 1 piece sheds every time and its not overly humid for too long so no scale rott.
Your snake sounds pretty bad off. I would take a rubbermade tub with about half an inch of warm water in it and a bath towel. Maybe put in 2 drops of soap to break up the surface tension. I would also put an under tank heater on the tub to keep the temp up. Let him soak for a couple hours every day untill he has a normal shed and gets a nice fresh clean skin.
Good luck

I put in a humidity box any time a snake goes in shed. Basically an appropriately sized Ziplock container filled with damp spaghnum moss and a hole cut in the side. Works every time.
