Help with a bad shed from breeder...

You do know every time you soak or bathe your snake you are washing away the oils that help them shed??

I'm aware, that's one of the reason I was asking for advice.:) I always rub the zoo med shedding aid, which is basically just a mix of different oils, onto her head after.

On a very happy note, I just fed her for the first time since getting her and she ate like a champ!!! :D

When I have shed problems (mostly with babies) I try also providing them with something hard to rub against to help them shed. Just not sharp or too tough! Sometimes washing your hands and gently rubbing the area where the unshed skin meets the healthy live skin will help loosen it so that they can pull the rest off.

Good luck and best wishes!

I'm a bit of a newbie but when snickers had a bad shed I gave him a heavy spray sat him on my lap with a bowl of warm water next to me and continuously dipped my hand in it to gently rub the old skin off. Didn't take long just gotta keep the little squirmy one calm.

Usually if there's a stuck on shed it will come off during their next shed. Just make sure that when you start to notice shedding behavior, if she gets pink belly, gets dull look to her, her eyes go into the blue phase or she starts rubbing all over everything that you bump up the humidity in her cage. It's also a good idea to give them something rough (like a log or rock) to rub up against to help them get it off. You can also put a tupperware stuffed with damp moss with a hole in the lid inside her cage so that she can get the extra humidity she needs to shed.

I definitely would not try tape in an circumstance. You don't want to inadvertently harm the snake.
