Hello! New here, obviously! SO, i'll tell you the story of "Bitey" and "Ribs" and then get your opinion, because i'm an overprotective mommy.

The tale is, we saw they had two ball pythons at the pound. So, i went and got them. The photos of them were at least two weeks old, and in the photos the one we soon named "Ribs" was already having a bad shed.
When I got there, they both looked terrible. They were in a cage together with no water, both shedding.

I got them home and got moisture around them ASAP. Both were suffering from dehydration, and in Ribs case, extremely so, along with starvation. We started out with small food...right away, actually. Bitey was ravenous, but as the name suggests, not too friendly. He ate though.
Ribs was another story. At 4 feet long she weight under two pounds. I actually didn't even weigh either one of them or measure them when I got them. It was more important to get them healthy. Ribs was so weak, she couldn't eat. We realized too, that she was recovering from an esophagus tear. We managed to stick a rat tail, and a tiny fuzzy mouse in her mouth, and she just tried to swallow each...and took more than an hour for each, pausing, and lying there resting and looking dead. We let her rest the first night, and had them both in separate moist conditions.

It took some time, but Ribs finally got some energy back, and started acting like a real snake! Bite recovered much more quickly. At this point they've both ate, and drank many times. It did take two weeks however, for them both to get rid of the shed that they were already in when i got them.

Yesterday, only a week or so after finally finishing the first shed, I've noticed that Ribs is in shed again. Not really a big deal, but this time it's each individual scale flaking off. I was worried, and looked up scale rot, and all kinds of things. She doesn't seem to have it.

Conclusion is that she's just going to go through a shed again, and it's doing this because her body is still recovering from all the trauma.
I've noticed this evening that Bitey seems to have a few flakes on him as well, though his skin looks good and full of color.

Ribs skin is dull, wrinkled, and like i said, flaking. I suspect both snakes still have retained eye caps.
Ribs worries me just due to her lack of caring if she's shedding or not. She has done zero rubbing, or even moving around since I got her. The only reason her last shed came off at all was because I was helping her. Her energy level seems good, and she's alert now. She's soooo much better. Her eyes still seem a little blue/dull, and I wonder if one has damage. She actually only has one nostril! It's not shed that's plugging it...it's actually just totally smooth and covered by skin.

ANYway just wondering if anyway has had any experience with a healing-from-almost-dying snakes!
Bitey has been looking around, drinking, and being cute.
Ribs has been sitting on the UTH. She notices me, and reacts if i open the tank, but doesn't seem to care otherwise. *lol* I mean i know she's been through a lot...i just feel bad that it seems even though she's doing better she's having another bad/weird shed. It's not even coming off in peices...it's just one flake/scale at a time.
I put her in a pillow case today with a damp towel, and she got all roughed up so now flakes are everywhere. Which, is good, i guess, it needs to come off.

Do you think it's like, built up sheds? Is that possible? Or is it just reaction to all the trauma?

Any advice? Thank you!
