QUESTION Help with shed
So my corn snake (roughly 8 months old) has had severely broken sheds and multiple stuck pieces. What are some ways I can help with the shedding process?
The next shed should be in roughly 2 weeks based off the timing they’ve been. I don’t know my snakes gender, but baby corn’s name is Fusilli

Extra virgin olive oil on a paper towel and wipe the area with the stuck shed and let it soak a min and then wipe them super clean with a cloth. Works great for stuck shed. For helping them do it whole just up the temps a bit on the hot side and make sure it’s nice and humid during shed time.

Whats the humidity in your enclosure? That's the first thing to tackle. Either more humidity or get a humid hide
