    How do I remove dry skin from python's face?
    My bp had a terrible shed due to what I believe was poor humidity levels and while the old skin has for the most part been shed, their still remains a few wrinkles around her face, some dry skin, and a partial eye cap. How can I safely remove this? Should I bathe her again and wait it out? I appreciate the help very much. Thanks! :)

    You could try a damp, low thread count pillowcase. Just get it damp with room temperature water, put the snake in and knot it off. leave it in there for 20-30 minutes. When you undo the knot, try to use the pillowcase to gently rub the stuck shed off.

    Make sure to supervise your snake while in the pillowcase. Accidents can happen!

    Man I think I almost accidently suffocated my snake. I bathed her in a tupperware container again and this time I think she almost died. I don't know why as I've done this 3 times before, leaving her in an hour once and she was completely fine. I don't know she almost died this time because I put too much water or the water was too hot or what, but she definately looked like she almost lost consciousness. It was crazy. She went completely limp.


    there are many holes in the top of the container so I really don't get it. I'm guessing I put too hot of water in or something???

    The water should not be hot or even warm. It should be ROOM TEMPERATURE.

    The water should only be about half as deep as the thickest part of the animal. You should never leave the snake unattended in a closed container of water. Always supervise.

    I do always supervise, hence the reason she is alive.

    I personally would give her a bath...then take a damp towel and let her crawl through it. You should be able to work the shed off with out actually pulling at it.
