    Mineral Oil or Olive oil be gentle and remove it in the direction the scales grow.

    i had tin foil to keep the temps up as my basement is really cold. the tin foil was on the inside of the tank cover and there was duct tape facing away from the bottom of the tank holding it together. i think he bent back some of the foil at the corner and got stuck on the tape in the middle. mostly my fault i should have foreseen that

    Ah, there's your problem. The foil and tape need to be on the OUTside of the lid. :) Make the change ASAP and glad your snake is OK.

    Are any of the scales ripped off? Just in case I would suggest switching the snake to newspaper or papertowels temporarily untill it's fully healed.
