    Stuck shed

    Hey all! So as the title says my snake has some stuck shed on her head, and I was wondering what I could do for that? Or do I just let her take care of it?
    TIA!

    Ok, you definitely want to get those eye caps off. The head isn't really a concern, that'll just shed off next shed.

    You can try soaking her in Luke warm water, only about an inch high. Leve her in there for about 15-20 minutes. Then use a damp towel or wash cloth and let her crawl through it. Apply VERY gentle pressure where the eye caps and stuck shed are on her head.

    This will likely do the trick.

    If not, let us know and we'll help further.
