Poor baby is shedding so hard.
He's all alone through the day and night.
Can I hold him?

After I mist him and gently roll his shed away, sure. Hes a sweet baby. Hes just not great at removing his own shed.

My child wont let me hold her during shed either. Last time I tried she hissed at me. She never hisses at me!

Your son is shedding in pieces it seems; whats your humidity level at?

Omg I LOVE Leucistics! What a beautiful noodle. We increase the humidity to 70% when we believe hes about to shed, but before and after that we do 60-65%. We also have lots of hides and balsa wood for him to rub against, but hes a bit of a derp and we have to help him occasionally. He came from a neglectful breeder that we rescued. Weve been lucky enough not to have to help him with his eye caps.

Also your girl looks to be so well fed and taken care of. If I took a guess I would say shes about 5-6 years old?

70-80% may be a better humidity level to keep your lil guy at, since hes shedding in pieces otherwise. BPs are very individualized but yours may need the higher percentage. Ideally hed be able to shed in one big piece, but I understand if thatd be hard to achieve if he came from a neglectful breeder semi recently

In that photo shes about 4 years old, so youre pretty close. I wish she was well fed! She insists on eating once every 2 months despite me offering food every 3-4 weeks >.>
Ball pythons are so finicky lol. Is yours a Spider morph of some sort?

He is a spider morph, but we havent really been able to get a good ID. I wanna say hes a bumblebee, but luckily he doesnt have a noticeable head wobble.

And I can completely relate to the stress of your snake not eating lol. My first one years ago was just a normal and when I brought him home he didnt take feeders for almost 3 months. He wasnt bitey or reclusive. He just wouldnt eat. Someone suggested force feeding and thats when I knew I needed more professional help (because fuck that, Im not about to force a mouse down my babys mouth if hes just moody.) I learned a lot with Sebastian.

The balsa wood is rough enough. This is the longest its ever taken him to shed for some reason.

Shedding can be a really traumatic experience for them. Some are just better at doing it than others.
