My ball has not had a full shed in a while. Is this alright? Is it bad?

Such as specifically how long it has been since its last shed. Also, are you saying your ball python has not had a COMPLETE shed, or it hasn't shed at all. Humidity and temps in cage, and size/age of snake are also useful information. This information will help others help you! Good Luck

He is about 3 ft long, the humidity is about 60, and temps go up to 85 one one side, but hotter on the ground (undertank heater), about 95--- i mean he has not had a COMPLETE shed, meaning he sheds parts off at a time and not the whole thing at once. His last shed was a while ago, and that wasnt a complete shed also. Hope this helps.
