I bought my first ever BP recently from a pet store that I feel (after going there rather often recently) is not the most suitable snake vendor around, but not terrible or negligent. I was sold a "male" (vet appt to determine everything for me since I am newbie).

I have had him since about mid June and he has been an AWESOME feeder - eatting every time without problem and feeding on fuzzies well.

I noticed all of a sudden that he started to get "wrinkly" almost as if there was too much skin for his body. About a week ago I woke up to find that he had spent the evening in his tree shedding. The shedding was partial and coming off in small bits and pieces. I left him alone and have not fed him during this time. He has been very very active - more so than normal.

Today I did some research (how I ended up here) and gave him a luke warm bath and made sure there were no shed scales or anything else in his tank (I usually clean his living area bi-weekly). He seems fine but still has the skin on the upper part of his body refusing to come off and one of his eyes has scale still over it.

Should I be doing something else to help this?

Why did he not shed in one whole piece?

Sorry to be longwinded but I am uncertain of the correct terms, vocab etc.

I appreciate your time and patience with a new snake owner.

Kind regards,

Phillip
