    Semi-Urgent Question

    I have a juvenile Nicaraguan Boa with stuck shed on his tail end. He's kind of small, so I'm a little worried about hurting him if I try to passively rub it off. Does anyone know how I can remove it safely and quickly? He's getting kind of agitated with it.


    P.S.
    First post, so I'm kinda new to this site.

    get a plastic tub and fill it with 85° F degree water, fill it half way up the snake's body. throw a rag in there, cover the tub so the humidity can build and let him soak for 15-20 minutes. once time is up, take him out and use the rag to gently GENTLY wipe down the tail. this should help.

    Thank you very much! I planned on cleaning his tank this weekend, but I suppose that would be a good time to do it.
