I love your accent.

[@JossersJungle]

Thank you so much! :-)

[@shahxsta]

I was just about to comment that

[@626resell]

she repeats some words a lot and it’s kinda weird lol

[@nicosy282]

When it comes to shedding, I kept my snake's skins as a record of his growth and in Asian tradition, brings good luck.

[@toffiet3347]

Where did you keep it

[@krystalskyebrisson9512]

So glad I found your channel! You're so passionate about your sweet slithering companions, it's lovely. 😊💓

[@saanvypatel45]

Also I think sheds are absolutely stunning! :-) In 4th grade, my science teacher had a ginormous shed! It was probably more than 10 feet and she hung it on her wall. You could see all the markings and they were gorgeous!

[@mirandasmenagerie5395]

I'm sorry you got injured, but I'm glad you got the surgery because that should help. I hope you feel better soon and I hope that the pain isn't too bad! 💕🐍

[@JossersJungle]

Magical Miranda Thank you so much, that is so sweet of you! I'm already feeling a lot better than I did a couple of days ago! Can't wait to make more videos🐍💞🎬

[@mirandasmenagerie5395]

Jossers Jungle I'm glad you're doing better and I can't wait to see more videos! Your videos always make my day, no matter how hard it's been. Thank you

[@kosmik8647]

Your videos are so helpful. ❤️

[@JossersJungle]

So glad to hear it! :-)

[@joshuab5400]

Great video as usual. Love seeing your vids. Keep them coming. Best of luck with your knee. Hoping you heal quickly

[@kimscott2908]

I just love your enthusiasm! Subscribing just for your absolute love of these beautiful creatures!

[@emmajeffries1063]

I LOVE your videos. They have all been extremely useful to me, so thank you! Your snakes sheds are amazing! I can’t wait to see my snakes first shed

[@gwreghertt6253]

Thank you so much! I followed this video for my ball python' s first shed with me and the shed came off in one big piece. Eye caps and all!

[@JossersJungle]

So happy to hear that! :-D

[@TheRealLucifer-Morningstar]

I don't understand why I find this entertaining to me but it is. 😊

[@sadieee2889]

Hi Joss! I wanted to leave a comment saying thank you! I've watched your videos since before I was married and my husband and I got a snake and you've walked me through so much with her. When she first got home we upgraded her case to 20lb from maybe 10lb. We should have given her time o adjust but so happy to have her we ended up stressing her out. Her sheds were terrible too and took over a week to come off her face... but Today we found her on her greenery scratching and saw a nearly full shed in her case!! I'm so happy you're a KZbinr, everything I've walked my husband through doing (I'm pregnant so my maternal instincts actually have me a little nervous to hold our pretty baby) has definitely improved her health! My favorite suggestion is the hydrometer (gyrometer?) . I used to think if it looked humid it was, but the humidity almost never changes. It was eye opening really and got me looking into her case every day. Even when I'm too tired to stand up hehe.... so thanks Joss!! Fern is so happy today her shed came off a foot long!

[@mossgremlin9115]

Thank you so much for this! I'm getting a ball python soon and I've been having issues finding info on shedding. Also, congrats on reaching 100 subscribers! I subbed about a week ago, and can't wait to see more of your channel!

[@JossersJungle]

Grace Marie216 Thank you so much, I'm glad to have you onboard and overjoyed you find use of my videos! Good luck with your new ball python, they are amazing creatures!

[@centershotdoublezero2037]

Awesome video! I didn't know you had to move so quickly to be able to unroll the shed. Hope you feel better quickly!

[@darianvanworth1927]

Thank you so much for the information my ball python sam just went through his first shed since ive had him and it went great me and my snake appreciate your help.

[@savannah5168]

Haha my snake eats every time hes in shed.😂

[@humbasauce]

Interesting. Two of my snakes won't, but the other one will still eat.

[@impxriobellxtrix7121]

My snake doesn't xD He just smells it and turns away.

[@sadieee2889]

Oh I hope mine will eat this week! She shed everything over a night ♡ Her first healthy shed out of two sheds since we bought her.

[@hhotknivess]

lucky you

[@mymaildw2669]

I have my first ball python..I love her!!!! I really enjoy your information and videos. Please keep going. You are awesome!!!

[@hellzonefirebrigade3056]

Very informative. My Orange Ghost is mid shed right now and my Pastel is getting ready to go into shed so the information was very helpful

[@tiffinybischel8953]

I love your videos!! You have inspired me to get my own baby ball python! She is the cutest thing ever! Along with getting her I got my parents to agree on buying her with your Ball python videos! Thank you so much! Also, this video is super helpful because she is going through her first shed right now.

[@JossersJungle]

Hi! And thank you so much, I'm so glad to read that! How exciting it is to get a ball python! Good luck with your new amazing snake! :-)

[@Teenlonex]

MY SNAKE JUST SHEDDED LIKE AN HOUR AGO AND I CAME STRAIGHT TO YOU THANK YOUUU

[@tammyjones9893]

I cannot wait to see the shed of my new BP oh and I hope that your knee is better soon

I love you vids they are so helpful and my mom is thinking about getting me a baby ball python ily 💞

[@lifewithsophiec.r4765]

I love your videos this helped me a lot because I am getting a ball python soon ❤️🐍

[@luke1790]

My milk snake just shedded. I'm so excited!!

[@baconlover7183]

I have a baby ball python and he shed twice, both times that he’s shed it’s been in little pieces all over the cage and his head has never stoped shedding. I’m really scared that his humidity is low in his glass terrarium so I moved his bowl onto his heating pad and changed where his hide went(witch is no longer over the heating pad) and I put a towel over the humid side of his terrarium. I also want to use a humidity box when he sheds and I just wanted to know if all of these changes will work and be good for my snake. Thank you so much you have really helped me feel more confident with the health of my snake. 😊

[@jennifervelasquez4610]

I think I would only keep my baby first shed hahahaha

[@dontlookdown5819]

My royal python Ezron (only had him a week) is very nice and gentle. He is almost done his shed but I tried to handle him and got a light hiss. Not aggressive but just letting me know "hey, I'm uncomfortable right now please leave me alone." so my question is: has this happened to you before and do you handle your snakes while they are in shed?

[@JossersJungle]

Hi Terrance! Great question! I usually don't handle my snakes when they are in shed, unless I have a good reason for it. They can get a little grumpy and I'm guessing it's slightly uncomfortable going through a shed. I haven't experienced any direct aggressive behaviour in my snakes. My best advice would be to leave them alone until they are done shedding :-)

[@dontlookdown5819]

Jossers Jungle I will definitely keep that in mind! Keep doing what you do I love your videos! I have a few pictures of my royal python, Ezron, on my Instagram if you would like to give me a follow?! create_hippie_creation!

[@declanwilson8740]

Thankyou so much this video help me so much

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

My hatchling sobas first shed was in multiple pieces, so i only kept the head shed. Hopefully this time she will do a single shed! (she just entered shed yesterday) I was amazed that the pattern was on the shed too!

[@jeffreytober6688]

Would love to c more videos on boas

[@simonsmallhorne]

Great video! :)

[@JossersJungle]

Thank you! :-)

[@AzuraRose]

Snake skins are really good for hermit crabs, so I've been saving and giving them to a friend of mine who has a bunch. My snake is a rescue who had been exclusively having small piece sheds and with me has only had sheds in one big piece. I'm very proud of how well she's doing now. I might keep the next one though!

[@cookiecookie1676]

Aw sorry about your knees hope u get better soon 😁

[@williamjuarez361]

Sorry to hear about your injury ! Hope you are doing better. In regards to shedding, do their eyes stay blue the entire time in their in shed ? I have a 6 month old Mexican Black king Snake and her eyes were blue yesterday but not blue today her skin does look a little blue-ish and I can’t find a shed sooo I’m a little concerned for her

[@tonimindnich1296]

Get well soon, sweetie-pie 😘🙋‍♂️

[@meaganbekker1749]

Love your video's!

[@MastaKillaaa]

Good vid ! :) thanks a lot for info. I have one more question about holding. I fed the snake in Monday and my q is - when I can take it in my hands again ? Thank you :)

[@northtexasskies3243]

I got a new corn snake about a week and a half ago and I was letting him settle in and just 2 days before I was going to try and hold him he started his blue phase :/ its just part of the process. I can say that patience is key in keeping snakes.

[@cheshire8780]

how do you keep a journal on your snakes? like what does it look like, what do you write down and all, I'm so confused? I want to collect as much information as I possibly can before getting my first snake and I really like the idea of keeping a journal on things like shedding and feeding and such but I don't know how to.

[@wendysanchez1089]

I love watching your vedios i have two snakes as well and they are great animals both of my snakes mean alot to me and i treat them as my kids and i hope u get well very well

[@JossersJungle]

Wendy Sanchez Thank you so much, I'm really glad to hear you like the videos! Snakes are really amazing creatures, and you sound like a really great owner for them! :-)

[@reptileadventures]

My new retic (had since july) gets super inactive while going into shed. I get so paranoid that something is wrong. Seems like she is shedding too often but I guess it's cuz she's growing like crazy! She is super gentle and lets me reach in and pet her while she's sitting there all depressed lookin.

[@zanna440]

So my Amazon tree boa is about to shed, dull colour and bluish eyes. Just wondering if it's common for them to hide for a couple of days, he has been in his hide for soon 3 days? The humidity is fine, and I can see he has been changing positions. For how long is it common for them to hide in the same spot while in shedding? Thanks for an awsome channel.

[@George-ee6cl]

What do you do with the shed once its off the snake and you have unrolled it? Great vid by the way :D

[@pinkysplawn7453]

Love this

[@thechaoticphoenixx8963]

When the snake first start the peeling process ,how long does it usually take before all the skin is off.Considering it was a healthy peel and maybe a smallish snake like a California King snake?

[@imaginetrying3592]

Can you please do another reptile room tour?

[@clashofclans2473]

My boa had shedding problems in a exo terra because of the ventilation the humidity stayed really low, so to stop that i put glass on the ventilation everytime she is going in shed so that the humidity Stays high. This worked really well for me.

[@kellyhuynh6648]

I have a hatching carpet python, it's my first shed with her and I'm not sure if I should give her a humidity box.

[@jasonb1999]

Hey! I just got a Blue eyed lucy and i’m curious how you can tell when they’re going into shed? I can always tell easily with black eyed snakes but with the blue eyes and white scales it’s hard to see the dullness of the skin or greying of the eyes.

[@ilikepotatoes6227]

My snake is shedding right now but this is his first time shedding and his first piece just came off what am I doing wrong??

[@T.Hxrris]

If my snake is soon to shed should i still feed her or will she not eat?

[@715koolgirl]

Hi, I have a question. I have had my ball python for exactly a month now. He has eaten 3 times, pooped once, and seems to be very healthy and active. My humidity ranges between 50-70%. I read that ball pythons often shed every 3 weeks. But, it's been a whole month, and he has not shed at all or shown any signs of being in shed. Is it normal for them to go a while without shedding? He is still a baby by the way.

[@miguelramos9345]

Can u turn the shed skin right side out? Just got my first shed today came out in one piece. Super excited about that.

[@josephmenegus3657]

Awesome

[@cirealreviews1776]

My Ball Python has a reddish color on the tip of the tail. Is this okay? Humidity is usually pretty good and heat is around 90 degrees. He eats 2 rats every two weeks. Most of his sheds come off in one piece.

[@johnschlesinger2009]

Humidity is only partly the issue. Hydration is also very important. It has been shown that tropical snakes absorb a significant amount of moisture from the atmosphere, whereas dersert dwellers do not. It isn’t true that the pattern is always visible on the shed: this depends on the species. It is very important to check that both eyecap scales have shed: if one or both has been retained, these need ro be removed, and if you have not done this, it is best to get help from a vet. The tail is also important: if the skin is retained here, the snake can end up losing part of its tail due to loss of blood supply.

[@hannahabernathy5373]

Jossers Jungle, I know this video was made a few months back but I have a question. I got a female pastel ball python a little over a month ago. She has started to shed about six days ago. This is my first time with her shedding, and I guess I'm a little nervous. Like I said, it's been six days and she still hasn't shed her head part. (I guess that's what you would call it. I don't know how else to say it.) I don't know if I'm over-reacting, but I mist her terrarium everyday, and have a big enough water bowl for her to fit in. Do you have any suggestions?

[@KJ-dt6gb]

Thank You! My Corn Snake Elo Is Going To Start Shedding Soon! 🐍🐍And He's My First Snake! 🤗❤🐍

[@kees_hoe]

My boy is finally shedding for me! He shed right before I got him, which was about a month ago, on May 2nd. He ate two and a half weeks after getting him, and I was wondering when he would shed next. I noticed he wasn’t nearly as active at night as he usually is, he’s a total klutz and even when I don’t see him out I can hear him crunching along the leaves or falling off his log 😂 Update/ Edit: so his first shed a month ago was a little rough which I expected. He had some stuck shed on his neck which I soaked to help him get it off but luckily his eye caps came off just fine on their own! He just shed for me today as I’m currently writing this and it came off in almost a full complete piece except a little bit at the tip of his tail that broke off on its own! But overall I’m so happy his shed has improved! I’m hoping for a complete full shed next time!

[@samanthaarmitage9674]

I have a gray,blue corn snake 7yrs ive had it just over a meter long and it's still shedding, I feed it two mice every two weeks.

[@Candyman247]

So I have a 2yr Male blood python. Hr sheds faily well but his last shed was incomplete and I've noticed what looks like a hard shell on his tail but I'm not sure if it's normal or a result of an incomplete shed. I've tried removing it but he isn't reacting well to it and I'm not sure this is the right action to take. Even soaking hasn't loosened it up enough to remove it, if it even is removable.

[@crystalwolf6355]

Thank you so much I have a ball python that just went into shed and is under her tree that she has to climb on is it normal for her to stay in one spot for multiple days?

[@chrisnorman2992]

Should I place a humidity box in my ball python's terrarium during shed times or all of the time?

[@ItsmeBish584]

My redtail boa shed in one big piece eye caps and all every single time in the 6 yrs I've had her. With my BP its different. She has shed once since ive had her and her shed came off in a few large pieces. Im not used to that and am worried something is off.

[@YoniPlays]

I have an albino king snake, does her red eyes turn blue as well? im curious if mine about to shed, her skin is getting pinkish and its been a month since she shedded (shes 2 years old) and shes acting aggresive, and spending ALOT of time hiding, her eyes turned blurrish, not blue though.

[@g.a.c.packzin7843]

I have a bp about a year old, over the weekend I fed him(he usually eats 2 mice) but this time he only ate one and refused the second one a few days later when I try to see if he’d eat it but no luck. I see his eyes getting cloudy but he has been rubbing his face all over the tank the last few nights, do you think he is getting ready to shed?

[@hassanhazem6388]

so i have a female sand boa and it is her first time shedding while being with me. but i have this problem about an inch of her tail was easy to remove but when I started to remove the shedd she started to pull her tail away so i stopped,and now she doesn't want me to touch her tail

[@ghost_lemons_1525]

Hi jossersjungle I have two ball python one female and one male the female is 8 months old and the male is 4 months old when she sheds she still feeds very well but when he sheds he did feed but this time he is shedding and this time he doesn't want to feed he is on smalls twice a week on Wednesday and sunday am i doing right these are my first snakes ever thank you cheryl from England

[@scottsnodgrass3592]

I have a unrelated question that i need help with, I'll be gettin my fist ball python in a few days and im a bit confused as to exactly where to put the thermostat probe. I've been watchin alot of videos about it but it seems that everyone is sayin different stuff, what do you do?

[@realdingo3601]

So I've had a couple young corn snakes for about a month now, and I was told they're about 3 months old. Since I've gotten them there's been no sign of shedding. They're still eating pinkies but idk if somethings up or if I should just be patient, any advice or words of wisdom?

[@pariswilliams0388]

Your videos have helped me a lot with my first ball python. She ate a couple days before I noticed she was going to shed. She still has not pooped yet, is this normal?

[@jojobeanyetta9445]

So i got a shed from my friend and its all bunched up and dry,is there a way to remoisten it and untangle it? I want it to be one long piece

[@aexisgomez6577]

Do I have to unroll the shed, is it necessary? I understand that I should know if it's a full shed or not but can I tell without unrolling? Also can I handle my snake during shed?

[@blackbeard9545]

Hi. Hope you can help me even if this comment is so late. I've noticed that my bps skin went ever so slightly kinda "translucent" or dull for a few days. But I just saw the tell tale signs today like the eyes and extremely dull skin. I just want to know if it is too late to soak him in warm water? Is he past that stage? Or is it to late to maybe mist a bit? This is my first shed and I dunno what to do. I just want my baby's skin to be soft. So can I soak or mist? Or is it too late?

[@slim3_network423]

Can a snake only be aggressive during shedding? My ball python is always very sweet but when she is shedding,she strikes a lot and I just spray her cage and lea e her alone. Is that the correct thing to do? Also,what is the correct humidity for ball pythons? Both while shedding and normal

[@juliaschuylerhamilton1554]

When your snake goes into shed are you supposed to peel of the shed? Or does she mean unroll it once it is off the snake?

[@JossersJungle]

The snake will get the shed of by itself. There is no need to peel it off, unless it is a bad shed and it already tried to get it off by itself, then something can be stuck and you will have to give a hand. But a healthy snake kept in a proper setup will have no trouble shedding it all of in one big beautiful piece. You will mostly have to unroll it yourself after the snake gets it off, by sometimes they also do leave an unrolled shed for you to just take out :-)

[@juliaschuylerhamilton1554]

Jossers Jungle ok thank you :)

[@80s90shiphop]

Hi, i know the video is a year old but I was wondering if you could give me answer to this question please 😁 ive kept snakes for a few years now but this is a first, i got a new carpet python and she just shed friday but I get home this morning (tuesday) and she looks to be going back into shed, is this okay and have you had this issue before? Thank you for your time, Rob 😁😁

[@shakirakarim1518]

thank u for the vid

[@BaraPersson]

Hi my snake, has been perfectly fine and eating, pooping and now shedding. But this was his first shedd with me and now the day after he is overactive in his cage. Is this normal or is he now considered stressed? Because he has a heatmat with thermostat so his "hotspot" is the temperature he needs.

[@420sideny]

I have a question how do you know if two boas will get along with each other if they meet each other for the very first time what is it that I'm supposed to watch out for so far all she's doing is cuddling with the other snake as what it looks like I'm not sure if it's a female or male though I know mine's a female.? How do I know that they're doing well together or they're not is what I'm wondering?

[@yourlocaldisappointment5833]

So I have my first snake and he is a baby Darwin python. He is having his 2nd shed but first with me. It looks like there is a lot of shed from his bell to tail but none above, I thought it was weird so I gave him a soak, not for to long, but after the shed was really coming off, but not in one piece, I think maybe it was because I was handling him (I’m not gonna touch him till his done now) and maybe some rips happen. When he was sliding back in to his tank the shed was coming of on my hand on his tail and it came off all in one piece, I have looked at so many videos but nothing similar came up. What do you think this could be? What should I do? (Already misting his enclosure)

[@joelresmenia3189]

There is a saying here in Philippines, if you put snake skin in wallet,you get luck and more money to come

[@abrahamacorda1892]

What happens if you handle a snake while its eyes are blue (pre-shed)? Will it cause a bad effect on the snake when it sheds?

[@bourgeoisiebobbielee]

Just had my very first shed with my very first albino corn snake. It was all in one piece, luckily, even with the head. He wrapped his tail around a plant in the terrarium and slid out of it. I had to unwrap it from the plant to remove it, but it did not even break. Anyway I was very curious to ask.... How exactly do you store The Sheds? My corn snake is a baby so the shed is only about a foot... If that. I just put it in a Ziploc freezer bag for now. 😬🤷🏻‍♀ I want to make a scrapbook for him and include his sheds as well. But I am not quite sure exactly the best way to store and protect them from the elements over time. Any advice... anyone??? It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

[@pauldavis972]

how long are snakes compared to their shed? My boa is around 1.5 meters (pushing over 4 feet) her shed was 6 feet long lol

[@livlogs24]

Do you have to keep a shed? Why do you unroll it? How do you dispose of it?

[@JossersJungle]

Henry Octopus You can just throw it out :-)

[@jme92685]

What is a bluish sheen on the snakes scales but eyes are still black? Is that the earliest stage of shedding?

[@kasysibley5286]

Hi! Love ur videos so much and very helpful!! I am a newbee!! My young ball python looked like she was about to shed about 3 days ago. Blue eyes dull color all the signs. This morning I went to check on her and she looks as if she shed but there is no shed in the tank. Can this be a sign of something else like illness?

[@Orang3Creamy]

Kasy Sibley I think usually when pbs are about to shed, or really any snake, it looks more dull and foggy and then can clear up. Usually shedding occurs within the next couple of days after the "clear up" I've heard it's very normal

[@bleepbloop3278]

Is it important to keep the shed? I usually don't bother un-rolling the shed and throw it away. I can tell very quickly if it's a healthy shed or not.

[@JossersJungle]

Not at all, you can toss out right away :-)

[@japhetrogers8362]

Do kingsnakes need a certain humidity as a ball python?
