it doesn't need to be anything fancy.............a clean plastic margerine tub with a hole cut out will do the job

Cheers thanks for your replys I will get a damp hide for him

probably just due to a growth spurt but a damp hide will help next time as Mamma said

I would suggest a damp moist hide for sure. I had a bad shedder but after a few sheds with a moist hide he sheds fine now xx

He's about 6 months usually sheds every 5 to 6 weeks usually always in bits need small damp cloth to get it all off my daughter gives hers a small bath and its shed all comes off in one piece her corn loves it so I tried it couple off months back but he didn't like it so took him out right away so no 2 stress him

How old is he? Younger snakes shed more often.

Thanks just thought something might be up with him cause he only shed 2 weeks ago
Mamma Posted - 13/10/2011 : 08:47:23
if you think he will be a poor shedder or are worried about future sheds, pop a wee moist hide into his housing next time he's in blue. I understand this will be impossible if him going blue is unnoticed at the time though.

I wouldnt worry about not noticing. I have had a snake shed without me noticing he was in blue too. That was with regular handling xx
