First, be prepared to take a little heat on your lack of research before buying your snake.



Second, try to learn from what people say here and your snake will be a lot happier.



The first thing you need to do is get rid of the heatrock as it will fry your snake. In otherwords it will burn him very, very badly and if you think you're having problems with shedding it's nothing compared to dealing with a badly burned snake.



You also need to start reading up on how to care for a ball python. You need to go to each of the sites listed at the top of this forum and find their care pages. They will tell you how to properly care for your snake. Right now you are not caring properly for your snake. If you bought your snake at a pet shop ignore every word the employee told you on how to care for it until you read the caresheets I mentioned. You will probably find the pet shop dude/chic told you the wrong things to do.



Here's a couple of links to get you started.



Care Sheet 1



Care Sheet 2



Please make sure you read these things and make the necessary changes so your snake remains alive and healthy.



Good luck!! Keep asking questions if you have them!!
