Um, are you feedng f/t? Because once, i fed one of my boas f/t and it exploded a bit and got on him and then dried an he got flaky.. Try giving your snkes a nice bath and rub his his skin with the water and basically wash him for about 15 min. Then pt him into a fresh and cleaned enclosure that is misted lightly. Leave him alone for a day, and check back up on him later and see if he's still flaky...
Not quite right.. My female hasn't had a good shed with me yet.. After asking advice around here, I did what I was told.
here's what I do for stuck shed:
1) Get a tupperware tub, make sure it has a lid for obvious reasons.
2) like said above, fill it with water to about 3/4's of the way up the snakes body.
3)I do this, I take the probe out of the tank and put it under the running water to make sure the temperature isn't too warm.
4) Put the snake in the tub, put the lid on, put the snake back in the eclosure over the warm side for about half an hour to 45 minutes.
5) when the snake comes out, take towel and run the snake through the towel, this should take the excess skin off from the last shed. :gj:
Goodluck!
I offer my snakes f/t every 5 days, the female is starting to slow down now(refusing) so she's going on a different schedule now.
Post some pictures! :)
