Our ball pythons eye's were blue last Saturday (the 16th) and she has been having a hard time shedding. Her tank is kept at 55-60% humidity constantly and the temperature is always between 80-90 degrees. She had a few very small chips come off of her tail, but aside from that she is struggling to get her face started. We have been giving her warm baths every day to try to help her with it, and the past few days she seemed to be trying really hard to start it by rubbing her nose on everything constantly, but now she seems to not even being trying anymore like she has given up.
After we gave her a bath today she just rubbed her face on the substrate and on the side of the tank a few times and then gave up and retreated to her hide to sleep, not even trying to rub her face on the inside of it.
Is there any other way we can help her shed get started? She looks miserable and extremely wrinkly and is way overdue to shed.
