Question about Diamond python's shedding

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site but so far have enjoyed reading forums etc!! Excellent site! I am interested in purchasing a diamond however the person who has the animal now says the little guy (or gal) has had a problem with its past two shed whereby it doesn't complete come away (including over his/her eyes) and he has to bath her and get it off himself? Approx 2 years old. Could this be a problem or a humidity thing? :roll:

RE: Question about Diamond python

yeah i think maybe the guy has the diamond on too of a hight temp which makes the skin really dry which makes it hard for them to pull it off... the y liked to be cooler than most snakes

RE: Question about Diamond python

Can be bad husbendary or animal can be in poor helth.
All keepers usually check animal closely after bad shed. In many ocasions this is the first sign of health problem or bad conditions in vivarium.
