    Question Trouble shedding

    I have a ball python who is shedding for the second time I got her. She started rubbing up on things about 8 o clock last night, and she still has not really accomplished anything. Humidity has been between 50 and 60 and the past week around 70 ish. I don't know what to do. Help ? thanks!

    bump that humidity up higher during shed... a good 80% is nice.

    if it all doesnt come off right away, dont fret,

    give her a nice warm bath for about 20-40 minutes,
    than with a warm wet rag wipe her down. it'll all come right off.

    Well after they start rubbing it can take either 30 minutes or 2 days for them to get the shed off, so don't worry yet. Let her get off as much as she can on her own and then you can help her out.
