Hi all
Hope everyone had a great xmas and Happy New Year.
I have a ball python she is about 5 months old and she is in shed this is her 3rd on since we have had her. Her first two sheds took about 3 days to complete but this one has been taking longer. She has been in shed for one week and I was just wondering if it is ok or if there is something i can do to help I have been soaking her every night for about half and hour but if there is more i can do then please let me know.

Thanks in advance

I would put in a humid hide. This way she can absorb moisture and not have the stress of being bathed. Just get a margerine container with lid and cut a hole in it. Inside put some wet moss or wet paper towels at least. Put it on the warm side of the enclosure and point her towards it.

My snakes spend a lot of time in theirs before they shed and it really helps them shed.
