Bad Shed
Welp, one of my new Ball pythons is going through a bad shed for some odd reason. I thought the hummidity was fine staying between 40 - 60% but I guess I was wrong. But I;ve never heard of a shed this bad. Basically she has gotten her head and tail skin off and that's it. The rest of the body is still in tack with retained shed, 1 full piece of retained shed. I thought I saw a very small piece still retained on the eye, but I didn't get a good look as she was obviously not it a mood to sit still for me.
I soaked down her cage and left her in it for the night in hopes she will remove the rest of the shed on her own. If by tommorow night she hasn't I'm going to try the damp towel and a rubbermaid trick. Further then that can anyone offer any other suggestions, I've heard baths are ok but can cause stress. If there is an eye cap I don't know how comfortable I feel trying to stick a q-tip in her eye with mineral oil in order to remove it. So any suggestions would be helpful
