Is pine bedding bad for ball python?
Yes, ball pythons require a moist and humid enclosure. Pine absorbs the moisture and this can increase the chances of your ball python getting a respiratory infection and having a retained shed. Retained shed is where the snake does not shed all of their skin. This can lead to moth rot, tip of the tail falling off, eye caps and much much more. Cyprus Mulch, cellsorb and newspaper are the best beddings for a ball python.

Do all snakes shed their skin?
Yes they do ! A snakes skin, while flexible, doesn't expand as they grow like ours does. Periodically, they have to shed the old skin in order to grow. They also shed to aid in repairing wounds to their skin too. Young snakes shed more often (sometimes every two months) than older snakes because most of their growing is done while they're young - just as we do. Therefore they need to shed more often. An adult snake of five years or so - may only shed once a year (or even less !) My oldest Royal Pythons only shed roughly every 16 months - yet their babies shed every seven to eight weeks !
