shedding question?

kilombo Jun 12, 2005 10:41 PM

Hello:
Hi everybody I am new to the Ball python world, I bought a baby ball a month ago hes been eating 1 mice a week temperature 90 on the warm 78 on the cooler, looks pretty healthy, has a bowl of water big enough for him to dive in, now I think he is starting to shed for the first time with me, the humidity is around 67/75 what should I do to help him shed? also his skin is bunched in places and he doesnt seem to comfortable, is this normal? I am worried about dehydration any ideas help.

Sounds all good, just leave him be until he sheds out. If you handle him it'll just stress him out, and he wont shed right. Let nature take it's course.
