i house 2 of my boas together and they both shedded around the same time, one pulled off a perfect shed and the other didnt, so i gave him a warm bath for about a half hour and gently rubbed the skin off

how come one shedded perfect with no problems and other had problems?

Default Re: shedding problem?

Well not ALL boas are alike..even if you house them together (which you might get some flack for that) it doesn't mean that they are both going to shed the same. Some require a bit more humidity than others. What i like to do when my boas are going into shed is mist their bodies daily until they shed, i feel it helps them, or atleast has helped mine. Hope your next shed is a good one!

Make sure ur temps and humidity levels are good
