Stuck Shed Question
First snake and trying to follow the rules.
Kenyan Sand Boa, On Sand (this is what he was on before I purchased him), Temp is in the 80s during the day (night time temps in the 70s) with light over tank but UTH is set for around 94. The humidity at mid tank where the temp is read is around 35%.
My snake is going into his first shed. I fed him last night and all evening he seemed more active then usual. I started to notice that pieces of shed were turning up in his sub-strait. Given I fed him I didn't look at him until this evening and he appears to have removed most of his shed, in reverse. The top about 1/5 of him still has his old shed on him. Some of it came off with a bit of a dip but I don't want to pull on it.
When should I consider this stuck on and attempt to help more? I've been told that Kenyan's are unlikely to use a humidity box so I didn't use one this time around but perhaps adding some moisture to the cork bark hide I put in to increase the humidity would help?
Thoughts would be appreciated. I also don't want to force the shed if more experienced people think it should be given a day or two more.
