Hey, I'm worried about my new corn snake. I'm a first time owner of a corn snake, so I'm worried I'm doing somthing wrong.
My baby (ish - I was too stupid to ask for Basil's age) corn snake seems to have problems shedding, although I don't know if this is common -
Basil (the snake), has shed the scales of the head, and it looks very shiny, but the rest of the scales look very dull. Actually, a better describtion is that their flaky, and not coming off
I thought corn snakes shed their skin all at once, so is somthing wrong?
I'll upload some photos later, but atm my phone is in my sister's hands.

a damp moss box (a tub filled with damp spaghnum moss) normally does the trick with problem shedders.
