Emergency Snake Babysitting - Need Help

[Rafters]

Ok, maybe it's a ball python instead. It looks just like a ball python I looked up on Google.

So this tells you how much I know. :P

They're still hiding underneath their covers so I haven't seen the entire snake of either one yet. So I don't know how long they are. The bigger one may be up to 4 feet long, maybe 3 feet. I don't really know. The smaller one looks maybe 2/3rds the size of the larger one.

They look beautiful and healthy. A bit of shed skin laying around the habitat.

Is the shed skin in pieces?? I don't know much about balls, but I know that snakes should shed their skin in one piece. If the shed skin isn't one piece or somewhat close to it than You need to raise the humidity. To do this You just simply mist the enclosure at least once a day. Especially while shedding. If You cover 2/3 of the enclosure with tin foil, towels, etc. It will help hold humidity better. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think ball pythons require around a 40% humidity and up to 50-60%during shed.

Yes, it seems like they are in pieces. The larger one has come out, though, and he doesn't look dull or have any skin hanging off. I don't know how old the shed skin is.
