Hey all. So, I've noticed that my 3 month old baby ball python has been very lethargic for the past three days or so, and today his eyes looked pretty cloudy. I'm very excited.

I was thinking of putting some of that Flecker's moss into a tupperware container with a hole cut into the lid, so the snake can crawl in and out at will, and keeping it pretty moist by misting it with water periodically. Kory (the boyfriend) does that with his striped cali-king whenever she sheds and it seems to easy the process a bit.

Good idea? Bad idea?
Other suggestions?

Good idea. A humid hide is always a plus when it comes time to shed.

yup! great idea-- I've started doing this with all the snakes here- finally got a perfect shed out of the 14 footer -- it was a big moss box though... lol

great idea!
