I'm Old Greggggggg
I just looked at my calander and i saw that my snake last shed on the 3rd of febuary.

So she is going to go blue anytime soon but this time she WILL shed in one piece !!!!

I was thinking when she goes blue then comes out of blue i should give her a bath just before she sheds to help her?

She has shed 2 times with me and both always leaves the tail skin on.

Any advise?
 
lol, hmm, someone says that they mist their snakes once a week to ensure a great shed, but I don't know if that is good or not???
 
i mist mine once day from when the blue all the way up until the shed....be carefull with that though to much mist can give them respitory problems
 
You can give her a bath if you'd like.

I have a humidity problem in my house (blow heater with a broken humidifier) and while it doesn't bother my Cornsnakes, it's heck on my Ball Pythons. When they are in blue I soak them every day for 15 minutes until their eyes clear.

Just make sure the water isn't too warm or too deep. The snakes will also commonly poo while having a bath, so you may have a bit of a mess to clean up. :)
 
My humidity meter says it is 50 right now But it rarely moves from 50.

I know this is a good humidity level but she always sheds incomplete.
 
The water shouldn't be deeper then an inch for an adult Cornsnake. She needs to be able to keep her head out of water. Room temperature is good for the water...Keep in mind that while we may thing warm water is comfortable, snakes feel temperature differently then we do. It's better to be a bit cooler then too hot.

50% is very good. My house without a room humidifier running is more in the 15-20% range.
