    Re: Difficult Shedding - New adult python owner

    He just had a difficult shed. If your BP sheds in one piece that means your humidity is on point. A hygrometer gauge is a must so you know what's the actual humidity in your terrarium. BPs should have 45-55% humidity normally and it should be bumped up to about 65% during shedding.

    A bath would be a good idea. Just remember to make sure that the water is luke warm, almost room temp because what feels warm to us is scortching hot for them.

    Here's a great thread on how to take care of stuck shed: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=74290

    Additonally you mentioned you have a UTH in your terrarium. What kind of thermostat are you using to control it?
