My BPs skin is very loose. Need help
He looks like he is about to shed. But, I'm not sure.

He's DEFINITELY about to shed. Keep humidity up around 70%, and let him do his thing. It's generally stressful for them to be handled during this process.

So he is healthy? How long do you think it will take for it to be done?

Re: My BPs skin is very loose. Need help
My snake takes anywhere from a couple of days, or maybe 5 or 6...it really depends on how the humidity is. I like to use a shedding spray for mine, can be picked up at Petsmart or some place along those lines, really seems to help mine shed, just personal preference.

When snakes shed, there eyes go blue. Your snakes eyes were blue in the last picture, so no worries. Keep the humidity up, and she/He'll be fine

I'm not able to say that with certainty from the pictures, and I'm not an expert by any means. We would need to know your detailed setup for him to see if his conditions are ideal.

I just put the moss in to try and put the humidity up. I use Aspen as bedding the humidity is normally in 40-50%

Does he have fresh water in a bowl as well?
What do you cover your tank with? I like to keep my humidity higher, around 60-70%. My water bowl is situated over the UTH. I use aluminum foil to cover part of the tank, and on the cool side, I use a damp towel to cover the tank. I leave a small area open for air circulation.

I change the water almost everyday. I'll try to do that right now. Humidity has always been a straggle to get right lol

If the top is a screen top left open, it will be hard. Try and model yours like I described and see if it helps.
