Is ball python shedding

Snakes are also a little sensitive immediately after shedding, enough so that you can't even spray them with mite-off. Kind of like when some of your skin peels off and the skin underneath is sensitive to soap or hand sanitizer etc. I give mine a couple days to acclimate even after shedding, just for that reason.

Mine stays in her hide pretty much the entire time she is in shed. She doesn't come out for anything other than feeding time. Usually a day or so after she sheds she will start to come out at night. I always find the shed in her hide rolled up in a ball with a big turd in the middle.

Just shed. My baby Calliope actually is shedding as I'm typing this haha. He'll shed about once a month or so. Just give him some time. I had taken Calliope out of her tank so I could spot clean her coconut fiber substrate, and when I was holding her she started butting her nose against my hand trying to get it started. It was so cute, but I instantly put her up so she could get it started and she'd be all smooth and my beautiful baby.

It's difficult to watch them shed! I've had mine for 2 years, and I still hate it! I upped my humidifier this winter (I'm in Minnesota), and I do soak them every other day for 30 minutes or so at 82 degrees in the water to help them with the dry conditions here. That helps, but I still can't imagine having all of my skin fall off at the same time! It's all I can do to keep the skin on my face from getting too dry!
