New to the bp world

[mattbz]

I just got a bp over the holidays and she just went into her first shed. THe shed came off in pieces any idea why??? Also the pet store did not let me know bout the humidity thing and i have a glass aquarium thanks for the helpful guides on your site.. She is an extreme lap snake is this normal

There are a bunch of links on this but it is probably because the humidity is too low. With glass cages I have heard of people covering half the cage with a towel or something and misting regularly. Also make sure your temps are good with a warm side and a cool side. how are you heating and what temps do you have.

Bump up your humidity and it should be fine.


Welcome!

well the shed came off in pieces most likely becuase your humidity is not high enough. Check out a good care sheet, and the BP FAQ page

If the shed is still not off, go ahead and soak her in some lukewarm-warm water, with the water not high enough to go over her back.

Welcome to the BP world! Make sure to check out some of the care instructions, pet stores usually leave out a lot of things

Best of luck to you!
