G'day this is my first snake shedding experience and i'm an Olive python , eyes are starting to dull slightly and keeps wanting to hide his head. I guess this is a normal procedure what should i do to make him comfy , is handling out of the question and feeding etc.
Thanks  |

Don't handle or feed him for a while until he's finished, and keep the humidity up.
After he's done you'll have to check that the old skin has completely come off and there isn't any stuck on the tip of his tail or anything like that.
The search function on the top right hand side of this page will deliver you heaps of threads and info on shedding aswell.

no feeding or handling spray some water in the enclosure with a spray bottle to increase the humidity and all should be good
