    Hello

    Hello everybody. Thanks for letting me join the site. It's been a great help to me.

    I've ran into a little bit of an issue and can't seem to figure out. I have a 3 year old normal BP, he's always been healthy and good sheds, but this last shed has been a bit of a bugger. He has shed everything, but the spine area (top of him) and nothing I have tried from reading care sheets, asking Petco (what an idiotic thing to do), soaking him, putting a wet towel on most of the top is his enclosure, sprayed water inside enclosure, wet moss inside his plastic hide, and nothing is working. The only way it will come off is if I pull it and that's a no-no, so I was hoping y'all could help me with any ideas I have missed.

    also, tonight for the first time since I've had him he started hissing at me every time I touched him. Is this a normal thing?

    He ate tonight like normal. He has a hot side and a cool side.

    Thanks for all your help

    Welcome!
    Stuck sheds happen. He'll be fine, next shed it will come off. It's better for him to have an annoying skin on him for a couple months than o have missing scales..

    The hissing is most likely him being irritated from being washed and soaked all day. Give him time to chill out!
