How often do Ball Pythons shed their skin?
Healthy ball pythons will shed their skin several times a year. This is not due so much to growth, but just to the fact that the old skin needs to be replaced. They usually have some trouble shedding in one piece. You can help your ball python shed by placing them in a large container of water, lukewarm to warm for a few hours at a time. A rock placed in the tank can also help them to “rub” off the dead skin.
