BAD shedding problems... need HELP!

[bimmer]

okay... so one of my bp's has been loking like he's gonna shed ANY second for the past 4 days! i mean its not like he's in blue, he already shed just the skin on his head like 3 days ago atleast and the rest of his skin is still on... every time i check on him i'm possitive that im gonna find a fresh shed python and skin laying in his tub... but no... for the last 3 or 4 days his skin on his whole body except for his head is still there and its reallllllly wrinkley (sp?) and looks like its just gonna fall right off. its like he doesnt know how to shed! i have put him in his water bowl 3 times thinking it might help, but its like he doesnt wanna get the skin off! is this normal at all??? if you look in my other post in the pic forum called "a couple feeding pics) you can see that his head is shed but he is all wrinkley and that was 3 days ago and its only gotten worse..

I would mist him and his substrate. that usually works for me.

i agree, he needs to get the humidity bumped up to 75 to 80% humidity.

well it's 71% on the cool side (which is 80) and probably like 75 on the warm side (91-92) all my other ones have shed fine. i think this is only his second or third shed ever

I would suggest taking a pillow case and soaking it in water, ring it out and put your snake in it. Tie the end of the case and put it back in it's enclosure in the case for a few hours. While trying to escape from the case it should shed itself.
