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

How old is he? Younger snakes shed more often.

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

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

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