shed ?

I have had my RTB for almost two years now. I have always keep a close whatch on temps and humid. The last shead however she left a small patch on her head and neck. I cheaked the temp and humid. and every thing was were it should be. Should I just what till next shed, pill it of myself, or what. Any advice would help, thanks

She seems fine by the way. She is crawling all over my computer as we speak. The shead is not over her eyes.

Is she head shy?

what do you mean?

meaning if you touch anywhere near her head, will she snap back in fear?

If a stuck shed bugs me enough, I will usually make some effort to remove it.

she moves back, but the shead is not really hindering me. I just want to make sure its not bothering her or is a result of something I am doing wrong. Like I said I have double checked the temps and humids and they are fine. I guess I just want to be on the safe side. You know how it is. :)

always looking out for the snakes best interest:snake:

If she isn't head shy, i'd say maybe go for it? Otherwise let nature takes it course, and i'm sure within a bit it'll eventually rub off. That happened with my BP when i had it, some on the head left over, was there for maybe like 4 days at the most, and then it was gone. Haven't had it with my Red-Tail, he's very headshy so i'd never try it on mine personally.

If any of that even makes sense?

If you want to try and get the shed off. Take a damp hand towel and hold it so she can move through it. A couple times through and it should come off.
