    Help me help sookie shed her head!!!

    Ok so sookie shed last night not in one peace but pretty well

    So I took her out and help peel some off and noticed her face still hadn't shed
    so I help peel some off and stopped at the eyes cuz
    it just looked not comfortable but she seemed to want me to
    help her with the face cuz she kept
    nudging her face against my hand to peel more off
    but I was not comfortable doing so! What should I do? I'll post a pic of her
    eyes cuz they are still kinda blue but not really

    should I baithe her? Or get her shed aid? Or what can I do?

    I'd get a warm damp towel, and let her run through it, or put her in a damp pillowcase on the warm side of her enclosure. The moisture combined with the gentle rubbing should get the shed right off.

    My Spider had that problem. I couldn't get it off, and I tried everything. Eventually I just kept his cage a bit more humid than normal (it was still on his eyes, and the humidity helped them from getting dry and silver) and the next time he shed it came off in one piece. He's absolutely fine now, i think he was just uncomfortable for a while. Good luck
