Ball Python shedding problems?
My Ball Python has had it's first shed since I've aqcuired him. It went wrong. It came off in pieces, and he is currently only partially shed.
I read a piece of advice on another forum that I should stick him in a tub (container) with damp paper towels for an hour to let him get real moist and then help him by hand. (I realize I shouldn't pull it off or rip and tear) to the best of my ability to tell (Read: complete amateur) it seems his eyes have shed okay. But a little advice on how to tell for sure without actually touching his eyes would be nice.
But those people were referencing a corn snake, so I'm not sure if the procedure should be different or not.
His cage is sitting at 82 Ambient with 64% humidity. It generally sits at around 55% humidity, but when I seen he was in "Shed" mode about a week ago I began misting plus moved the end of his water dish over the under-tank heater. He does have a heat lamp, but it is necessary to keep his tall cage at the right temperature (What do I say, the cage was 120$ off, who could resist?)
