Hello I just got a three month old male ball python. His name is Rumples. Anyways my questions deal with shedding and behavior.

Behavior: So rumples has been acting really weird. For example when ever I try and hold him which I haven’t been very often because he is having a bad shed and he has only fed once with me. Whenever I try and take him out of his enclosure he backs away and then when I am actually holding him he is fine. Then with his shed it had not been coming off in one piece so I was soaking him then when I would take him out of the tub he would try and get away from me. And I know that is just because he is stressed. But will that go away or is he always going to be like that? Also what can I do to make not do that to handle him?

Shedding: So like I said earlier he is having a bad shed and I tried everything to get the humidity up but that is not working. So what are some tips of how I can make it easier because rumples has been in the same shed for about a week and two days.


Also dealing with behavior whenever he ever he goes into the tub where I soak him he stands straight up and i heard of stargazing and I am worried about that.



Sorry for all the words
