    Stuck shed on baby bci tail tip?
    Hi All,
    My new baby common boa (bci) shed for the first time in my care yesterday morning. Looking at the shed there were no problems with it, eye caps off etc but there was a tiny hole at the tip. I got him out after work last night to check if all the shed was off and i cant work out if he has stuck shed on the tip of his tail or not. I've taken a bunch of photos, if you could take a look and let me know your thoughts that would be great. Here's the pics: http://imgur.com/a/kn1xc
    Now i'm seeing the photos on my pc i'm more inclined to think there is some stuck shed on the tail tip but could be wrong.
    What do you guys think?
    If there is stuck shed, whats the best way to try and get it off? I already ran him through a damp towel for about 20 minutes with no luck. I'd really appreciate any tips. Never had this happen with my brb. Temps and humidity are fine but i remember reading when doing my research on bci's that this can be quite common with babies.
    Thanks a lot for the help!

    Hard to tell. If you don't think the tail shed cleanly you can gently rub it for a few minutes each day with a warm damp cloth.
