Bad shed Problems continue

[Matthew43s]

So KP has had shed skin on him for at least a week now. It came off of his limbs and tail but he still has shed stuck on his midsection, and a little on his crest. Humidity is at 50-60% throughout the day where he spends his time but this skin just won’t come off. I just put some shed ease on him, that I use for my king snake when he’s having problems. What to do next?

Also, he’s not to fond of coming out of his kingdom so he looked pretty pissed off. Fixed this by giving him a few Phoenix worm treats, he didn’t want to go back in lol

How's your humitdity?

 

[Matthew43s]

@kinyonga humidity stays 49-57% up top, 50-65% in the middle of the enclosure and it’s 35% right directly under the basking bulb in his basking spot where he spends 75% of the day so I think that’s the problem. The ambient temp in my house is around 71-72 degrees. So maybe I could add a space heater in my room to get it around 75-76 and turn the basking bulb off, using only the heat from the UVB/Grow light and run my humidifier longer for a few days to ensure he isn’t drying his skin out before it has time to shed

I wouldn't recommend that....just my opinion.

 

[Matthew43s]

What would you recommend? It shouldn’t take this long should it

 

[Matthew43s]

His bad shed is still there. But how’s this for upping humidity, I placed one of the three vent tubes from my home made humidifier right on him. Maybe it’ll work.

I am far from an expert, but I wouldn't worry about it. If he is healthy otherwise let it be. Increase the humidity (which I think you did) and let him be. It appears you are an over concerned dad or mom. This happens all the time with newborn children to newborn parents, especially their first child. He may be shedding (peeling) because he is getting a sunburn from his heat lamp. He looks good, and you seem like a good parent

lol theres no doubt about me being over concerned, but you are correct. I'm actually like this with any pet I own. once they get into my care they become family so I have to make sure they get the best and are in the best health possible. I may freak my self out a little bit sometimes though for sure lol I just know that if my king snake was shedding like this it would be an indication of something that would not be good so I wanted to make sure. But thank you @timw1 for the compliment and the new found peace of mind. I appreciate that
