 Shedding.

I was just wondering if anybody could tell me typically how long a ball python stays in shed.

about a week or two it will start off with bluish eyes then they will clear up and he will shed right after they clear. just make sure the humidity is up or give him daily baths in the tub or a plastic tub

Thank you. And also, if my snake has some loose scales that haven’t come off yet, should I help peel them off, or just let him do it on his own?

wait what do you mean. do you mean after he sheds or before. if its before just let him do it him self. if its after he sheds then yes you can give him a warm bath and gently rum them. or use easy reptashed
