    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys so about a month ago I purchased my first ball python from Noah Morphs here in South Florida (female albino 1k grams). It looked at the time she had a small part with some stuck shed on her back but no big deal. Now that part is almost off but she has just recently turned pink, refused a meal and started to shed individual scales when I would handle her. I believe the pink could be signs of shed but shouldn't the scales all come off in one piece or atleast pieces? If done some research but haven't found anything difinitive. If someone more experienced has some insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
Usually if they are having trouble shedding it is because of low humitity. Do you have any pics of what she is doing?
 
Hey thanks for the response. It was hard to get a picture that really showed what was going on so I just let her be for a while. This was the right decision as she finally shed and looks great. I think she just had some scales from her original stuck shed that were coming off before she did her current one. Again thanks for the input.
