Re: Blood python shedding issue. Thoughts?

If you actually look at the light shining on that first pic you can tell she hasn't shed. It's not shiny.

Re: Blood python shedding issue. Thoughts?

Thanks Cossie
She looks equally as vibrant in person but in the right light there is a slight dullness. I've carried on as normal with her except that her humidity is remaining higher for now and I may keep it that way as an individual need for her. She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable and is certainly not cranky so I am optimistic.
Anyone know of any nasty results of having a stuck shed?

As a side note: If she looks this good with a layer of dead skin covering her whole body she must be spectacular underneath lol

Re: Blood python shedding issue. Thoughts?

Also ,just re reading this all again ,as good as newspaper is and practical ,maybe ditch that for a bit and place her on Cypress mulch / coco husk with sphagnum moss ,she's still a yearling and they love to bury themselves and this may just help her loose the old skin ok !

Re: Blood python shedding issue. Thoughts?

Thanks again! Cyprus mulch and mosses are only available here for purchase around this time of year and I've been keeping my eye out. I got a small bag of peat moss earlier this week which I put in a container with her and left her there for the day (sprayed the moss, container well ventilated of course). When I can grab a larger quality bag that I can guarantee is free of chemical additives I'll switch over.
Also, thank you for the link!
