Ball python not shedding in one piece

[SmoothScales]

If her shed is coming off in shreds, or small pieces, your humidity isn't nearly high enough.

I have a question to start with, and then a few comments.

Is your BP in a tank set up or a tub?
If she's in a tank with a screen top, I would suggest covering part of the top with some foil and placing the water bowl under it as a start. Tub set ups don't normally have an issue with humidity, unless there are to many holes in the top and sides. If that's the case, cover a few of the holes on the top.

I would honestly not use ReptiBark for a ball python. Personally, I don't have any experience with it, but have heard it contains dye that could be harmful to your snake if it gets wet... Aspen is good, also newspaper and paper towels.

Now to address this: "Ball pythons aren't terribly sensitive to humidity and don't need it above 50%". Ball pythons, while in shed SHOULD have humidity above 60%, and preferably into the 70% range. When not in shed, 40-60% is fine.

Soaking while your snake is in blue or getting ready to shed is a bad idea. It will wash away the snake's natural oils and actually make shedding a little more difficult. A snake already having bad sheds will have worse sheds in this situation. Once they've shed if there are still small pieces still left behind, leave the snake alone for 24 hours. They will usually get it off themselves in that time frame. If they do not, you can wipe them down with a damp towel and if your husbandry is right, it should come right off. If there are still stuck pieces, then let her soak in some warm (88°) water along with a wash cloth to rub herself on.

Edit: Streller made a good point - constructing a humid hide would help your girl immensely if you aren't able to up her humidity other ways. http://exoticpets.about.com/od/repti...midityhide.htm
