good shed just missed a piece...

snake had a good shed i put him through the soaking processes and got almost everything off, humidy was at 70% temps 90/80 etc etc, but he missed like the top of his head and about 1 inch from his head down his body...and soaking isnt working because he keeps his head up....any suggestions...? its been on there for about 4 days now....

Take a small tub put about an inch of water in the bottom put about 4-5 paper towel ontop of the water put the snake in the tub put the tub over the hot spot let sit 45-1 hour remove tub rub snake with wet paper towel gently over stuck shed repeat once a day until gone.

if hes head shy and you dont want to rub his head and face get a pillow case soak it in luke warm water and put it on the hot spot.. make sure you tie it off so he doesnt just come out of it..

was suggested to me by another member on here and worked perfect.. only problem is i had a pillow case full of soggy skin flakes lol

You might want to take a hand towel and wet it with warm water then put it over his warm hide so that it drags over the entry way. Then spray down the aq. or the bin. The hand towel helps to up the humidity as well as gives them something to rub on.

hmm hes got a giant like tree branch thing, looks like roots, that i bought from the pet store that he used for most the shedding but i guess i will try the wet towel over his warm hide....
