    I don't recommend doing this right now, or anytime soon because that poor snake is probably stressed out. But you can help take stuck shed from those areas using tweezers. You'd have to be really careful though. Considering his condition, it's best to just leave him alone until the next time he's going to shed. Until then, just ensure the ambient humidity is stable so that he can shed properly.

    I'm working on a Snake Tracker App! If you have any ideas or suggestions on features, feel free to post them in the Development Thread! I'll also be posting updates on the development of this program in this thread!

    Re: Arroyo Ball Python is SUPER BAD SHAPE!! HELP ME SAVE HIM PLEASE </3

    Oh another thing i just thought of,
    Since i cant go get him a new hide till the weekend and he is staying in his half log for now (i know its not recommended cause its too big for him) but would he feel more secure if i close up one end so he might feel a little more secure?

    Thanks!

    The half logs aren't recommended not on their size, but because of their openness. Covering up one side will do wonders in making them feel more secure. You can even put plants or substrate around the entrance to make it feel even more enclosed.
