Help to shed

SaraFox May 20, 2003 10:25 PM

Python is having a very slow shed, I've tried soaking once a day in warm water but it still hasn't shed all the way. I also spray the whole cage about 3-4 times a day to raise the humidity. Still has skin almost all along it's back and sides. The stomach is fully shed, but the skin remains everywhere else slowly peeling away in small pieces. Is there anything else I can do to help with it's shed?

....once the snake is soaked the skin becomes very easy to remove with your fingers. Don't be afraid, it'll come right off!
