Thank you VERY much for all your replies! I knew oil with a q-tip was the best option, but I truly was worried she wouldn't let me or it would be so stuck I wouldn't be able to do it.

But WHAT A GOOD BABY. She never once hissed, struck, or even pulled away sharply! She was SO patient! Sometimes I think we don't give our animals enough credit. I really think she knew I was trying to help her. The tape did pull away the very outer "layer" of the scales - almost like a piece of shed - but the scales themselves do not appear damaged and there was no tearing of her skin.

Needless to say, I have her in a lockable enclosure now...... :rolleyes:

Thanks again all!!

Yayyy!! I'm glad everything worked out! :) and I agree with you 100% on us not giving then enough credit sometimes. I've gone through a similar situation with my ball python Eva. She got stuck in one of her hides somehow and I had to do SO much to get her out and eventually had to break the hide in half to get her out, it took like 6 hours. But during the whole process she did so well because I think she knew I was trying to help her. It was a very bonding moment for us and she's one of my biggest sweetest girls ever :) she's has a scare but it's fading with every shed and now it's barely visible. But I'm so glad your little girl came out unscathed! I wanna see picks of the little cutie! :)

Thanks again everyone! If you'd like to see pictures of the little stinker, I made a thread of my Tinley Park pickups here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Park-pick-ups!

She's the last one pictured - the Rough-Scaled Sand Boa. ;)

That little turkey! Glad it ended well. :)
