    Shedding Aid??

    Just was wondering. Does anybody know if shedding Aid can hurt a possible gravid ball python??? She always has issues shedding but she could possiably be gravid. It's to early to tell yet. Any suggestions would be great.

    Just another waste of money, if you provide proper humidity your BP will shed properly.

    Humidity is between 58 and 60% As for her house. She is in a terrarium. I can't figure out how to boost a picture of it.

    That really couldnt be more wrong for a ball python.
    You will never get husbandry correct in there, sorry but you already said that you have had continual shedding problems.
    Is that heat cable in the enclosure? Regulated how?

    Pit is right... BP's need floor space not height, belly heat which that cable isn't going to provide in that configuration, no hides which provide proper sense of security for the animal...
