    nose shed
    My baby ball has a little piece of shed stuck to one of his vents. Is it ok to just pull this off?

    it will be fine just give it a quick soak and it should pull right off.

    sorry its not on his anal vent its on one of his nose holes. I cant seem to grab it with anything because its on his head and he pulls away fast. should I do the bad shed protocol or is there a different way just for one piece of shed on the snakes face.

    Usually I do the soak if it starts to seem like its bothering him. Also what works good for stuck sheds on the face when you have a young shy bp is to soak a pillow case in water, ring it out and put the snake in it for about 20 min to half hour. The snake will rub its face on the damp cloth and hopefully the shed will come off. Always supervise the snake during this though.

    Not saying this is THE thing to do but its worked for me on several occasions for shed on the mouth vents and eye caps.
