Manasha is looking mighty dehydrated (pix)

she's moving around in there and sticking her head under her body... should I do the wet paper towel thing now or wait till later tonight..?

roger that!

Now until morning would be fine. You'll see a lot of condensation...that's normal so don't freak out. It's only temporary for overnight...

Woot! doing it right now.... I *much* rather fix a stuck shed than a dying snake... lol...

The skin has already started coming off around her head (before I did anything). This is awesome, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Please let me know if it works for you. I started doing that for my bad sheds this winter, it was a terrible winter for humidity here :rolleyes: but it worked every time!

I'm actually filing this tip away for future reference myself. I like this idea much better than the pillow case thing.... Thanks Leah!! ;)

humidity 90%
Ambient 79F
Heat Pad 90F

She already looks better. No wrinkles anymore... skin hanging around her head but she's not doing anything to get it off. Just hiding out..

Just give her time. She should be much better by morning. :gj:

See hon, I told you. That silly vet telling you to soak her in the beginning stages of a shed was going to wreck her shed.

Give her a little time and some peace and quiet and she should come out of most of it. If not, you can gently help her peel it off.

I am waiting and rooting for you both that she gets better. She is such a pretty snake.
