Hey, ever since i got my kenyan sand boa, she has been having trouble shedding. she is still very young, probably 5 months or so. Ive only had her for 2 sheds though. Each time she sheds it looks like her old skin gets stuck to her new skin and rips off some of her new skin underneath :S so right now she has half of her shed still on and the part where its off she has several cuts (on her belly). Im pretty sure that its not because of humidity issues because i spray her tank when she's shedding and give her baths with warm water and a drop of mineral oil to aid the shed. I keep her on Calci-Sand with the warm side kept at 90-100 and cool side at 70-80. Any comments would be great
thanks everyone
