The Shedding Process By: Daniel Hill The process by which a reptile sheds its skin is called ecdysis. This process may last from 9-14 days depending on the reptile. Unlike lizards that generally shed in pieces, snakes will shed in one single piece if provided the proper conditions. A lot of first time ball python owners may panic at the signs of their snake's first shed because they do not ...
The process of shedding generally involves several steps. These steps will be outlined in the paragraphs and pictures below. I put times on these steps based on my visual observations and ball python records; however, the start of the shedding process may not be easily recognizable in some instances and the times may vary by a day or two. This is just a general guide and not a standard. Day 1 ...

Ball Python not shedding. I've had this BP for around 3 months now and he hasnt shed once. I usually have him on 75-78 temp on the cold side and 80-85 on the hot side (which he never visits) and I have a humidifer and keeps him at 60 humidity. He hasnt shown any signs of an RI and hes eating and hydrating perfectly fine, any tips? 03-02-2021,09:55 AM #2 BeansTheDerp BPnet Veteran Join Date 11 ...
Re: My ball's belly is flaky and scales are coming off Originally Posted by Megz Hey guys, So I have started to notice this as well in my ball python. When's I first noticed (a week and. A half ago) I thought it was just a sign of shedding soon to come. I went on vacation and came back and it's still there.
Feeding during a shed cycle.. So our little guy is in the shedding process and it has been about 8-9 days.. The cloudy eyes have passed yet he has still not shed his skin.
Cloudy Eyes? What would cause a balls eyes to go cloudy like it is about to shed, stay that way for a few days and then clear up without shedding?

My ball python hasn't shed in about a few months, her last shed was about October-November. She has grown a bit and I can tell she wants to shed. A couple times she's climbed into her moss bowl and burried herself, I guess because the moss is so moist. I know humidity has a part to play in this, but lately it's been a hassle keeping the ...
Re: Ball Python SUPER WRINKLY Yep that is just him getting the skin on his head looser for shedding. He rubs his head on different things in the tank to start to separate it from his scales. He should shed within the week. Good luck!
Hello, I've noticed for the past couple days that my ball python's under belly scales seem to be shedding or falling off. When one of the under belly scales falls off, it is transparent.
