First shed.

[Albert Clark]

I'm in need of a few tips for the first shed of my first Ball Python. I noticed her eyes were milky last night when I got her out to feed her. What can I do or what should I be doing to make sure it goes as smooth as possible? I raised her humidity levels to sit around 70% and with an ambient temp between 86°F - 90°F. She is young and is in a 20gal. Long tank with newspaper, a small dog water dish, and a "U" shape log enclosure. Any info or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds pretty good. The ambient temp can come down a bit. Maybe down to 82f is more of a effective ambient. The 86f - 90f strikes me more of heading towards a basking or hot spot range. Your humidity percentage is great. How are you heating this 20gal long enclosure? How young is the ball python? Can you post any photos? All that would be helpful. Thanks.
