    BP Rescue
    I was told by a friend that works at petco today that someone had abandoned a ball python in front of there door sometime over night. I was told that his skin is really wrinkled like his shed had been stuck on for awhile. Im going to go tomorrow and pick it up and try to nurse it back to health and was wondering what the best course of action for the stuck skin would be. I will try to get some decent shots of it tomorrow and post them up in here when i get home with it.

    Thanks in advance,

    Aaron

    I give my snakes and reptiles steam baths..I get a container and put like an inch of water in it that's nice and warm, bot not hot, enough so it creates steam. I put a large rock or something for the snake to lay on if they don't want to be in the water. I put them in the container and pop the lid on and give them 5-10 minutes. It's usually really easy and the skin easily rubs off if it's ready to come off.

    You can also put a himid hide in their tank and keep the over all humidity pretty high.
