My few month old Leusicitic Rat-Snake: Kieran apparently started shedding today... I had just held him last night and didnt see any signs of shed... but then again.. he is white... and little... so I couldn't exactly look at his belly... so I go to check on him/ change water for today... and I notice he has a shed going on... its a bad shed... but still in a decently long piece... I thought that I would help him... so I took him out and put him in a ventilated container with a steaming rag for a bit... only like.. 1 minute... then ran him through my hands when they had water on them... just to moisten his scales a little... and then I tried to pull... well not... "pull" like yank... but gently tug at the skin that was attached and see if it would roll off like it does for my ball-python and other cornsnake... I held my corn snake as she shed the last time and held the piece of skin by her neck until she shed the whole thing off... so i figured... why not? And I feel like... I may have tugged 2 hard... I am not really sure... he has shed on his head... it is not blocking his mouth or vents... and I can see his eyes... its just around his eyes... and I lightly tugged on it and didn't feel comfortable doing it because the skin around his eye socket was stretching with it so I figured it was not ready to come off... i just want to know if anyone can help... I am afraid of a few things...
1. That I made him blind... (i know, weird and over the top but... eh)
2. That he wont shed properly
3. That I am doing something wrong.
I do not, particularly, monitor my cornsnake/rat snake enclousures for humidity... be it that they are native to florida... where I live... and I figure its enough to have a water bowl directly under the heat lamp...
pics included.
Any help would be niceThanks guys.
