    Exclamation Is this normal?

    The only ball python I have, Precious shedded while I was at work. I came home and this is what her shed looked like. It was one BIG ball of skin. Its all off of her, none on her anymore. Usually it is long and stretched out accross the tank but it was just one gigantic ball this time. Is this normal? I feel like it should be since theres none stuck on her. But could it be a bad sign of temps/etc.?

    I've found shed like this in my BPs vivariums before, pretty sure it's nothing to worry about

    Re: Is this normal?

    Perfectly normal. Mine almost always come in ball form, I actually don't think I've ever had a long shed from any of my BP's. My corn's sheds are always full-length though.
    Balls:
    *0.1 Mojave *0.1 Pinstripe *0.1 Bumblebee *1.0 Super pastel butter *1.0 Mojave orange ghost *0.3 100% het orange ghosts *0.1 Pastel 50% het orange ghost *1.1 PE Lemonback fires *1.0 Fire *0.1 Pastel *1.0 Albino *0.1 Spider 100% het albino
    Other critters:
    *1.0 Anery motley corn *G. rosea tarantula *G. pulchripes *P. metallica *0.0.2 A. versicolor *C. cyaneopubescens *A. geniculata *B. smithi *B. boehmei *Nhandu chromatus *H. maculata *C. marshalli *1.0 Australian shepherd mix

    Agree to all of the above. I usually get them like that too, one of mine shed a few days ago and the shed is in such a tight ball I'm sure it would hurt if I threw it at someone! Coming off in one piece is always a great sign, no matter the shape of the final product.

    It almost happens every time with my crew, I like it and I can just unroll it should I want to keep it, it's cool.
