    soaking in water during bad shed

    I hate to make another thread about sheds but My bp's first shed isnt going so good. it's been two weeks and the top part of her shed is still there aong with some patches on her lower part. There is nothing wrong with temps/humidity so i let her soak in the sink. she seemed to like it but get's a little stressed after a minute. i then was able to wipe away some but her neck shows no signs of peeling away. poor thing should i continue to just work it away with water every day?

    Yup.. try getting an enclosed tupperware or similar enclosure to leave her in for an hour. Use warmish water, and I like to put a paper towel in there for traction and for the snake to rub on. You can leave it on the warm side of the cage so the water evaporates and makes a kind of sauna.

    but I don't think I can even keep her in there for 15 minutes! you know, it's almost like she doesnt care or even know what is going on

    That's why you put a lid on it.

    put her in there lock it walk away and stay away for an hour get one that she cant see through that will help her not get stressed out and dont get this really big container just get one big enough for her to move around in she will be fine and it wont stress her out as much.
