    When to get bad shed off
    Hey all,

    My snake just shed but I'm pretty sure he she has her tail still on. I just fed her about an hour ago so now I'm torn between getting the tail off or waiting 2 days and then getting the tail off. Advice?

    Leave it alone for now since you just fed your snake, it can wait ;)

    Give it like two, three days to digest the food, and then what I do is put them in a small deli container with a damp paper towel. this method works for me and I've never had any issues. Gets the skin right off

    I agree, it can wait till he digests his food. I wouldn't worry about it falling off any time soon (given that she hasn't had stuck tail shed before and now it's two stuck tail sheds).
