I cant seem to get my GTP to shed properly, it seems that it just kinda flakes off in some areas, and other areas there are still pieces of skin just hanging on. I used shed aid last week but it didnt help much. Any suggestions?

If you get your humidity right you won't need any shed aid or have to assist him at all. What kind of a set up do you have it in? How high do you keep your humidity? what are the temps? all of this will information will help us get your set up right.

How long have you had him? You seem to be having a lot of issues with it.

like Kat said what are your humidity ,temps like...
for now if your GTP sill has shed on him/her i would get a tub and put a warm wet towel in the tub and put your GTP in there for about 30mins to a hour, the snake should work off the shed.

Forget shed aid - bump up humidity especially during shed process and he should be fine. What do you keep his humidity at?

Good to hear! I was worried it was a hatchling that was sold too young.

try bumping it and keeping it constant and see what that does for her.
