Stuck shed?????

[danielwilu2525]

After a nice yet concerning handling session with Sammy, I think he has some stuck shed. So I was adjusting Sammy so can hang off my neck. He was behind me around my back. When I try to pull him, I notice something is holding him back. When i look behind i see that his skin latched on to my shirt. Should I be concerned about this? I got him off but i start looking around his body and see small spots of stuck shed, but no large ones that are something to be concerned about. Should I be worried?

I would just up the humidity and let him get it off. From what I have experienced and read, unless the eye caps are still on it's prob not much of an issue. I just recently had a baby go into a bad shed, my fault, and for the next two day I have been misting it and everyday I see more pieces off. Now it's completely gone. I also saw a guid on here that might be a sticky. Basically soaking the BP in Luke warm water with a rag and then using the rag to wipe off some of the shed. Anyways hope this helps. But I wouldn't be worried.

So a nice soak and bump up humidity? Alright! I thought he was going into another shed. However, how do I properly soak? Is there a sticky or video on it?

I wouldn't soak right away unless there is a serious issue. Just up the humidity for the next shed.

I agree, increasing the humidity is probably all you need to do.

Here's that guid I was talk about for reference.
