    Re: Bad shed? No problem.

    My snake has probably 15 or so scales randomly down it's body that didn't come off during his shed. Would the same process work for that or should I just let them come off....??? Great tutorial, thank you!

    Great job. That's almost exactly how I get the old shed off my snake.

    Did you try a Q tip and some 100% pure vegetable oil? Extra moisturizes safely for a stubborn shed...especially eye caps. Just my two pennies on this enourmous thread.

I was thinking of letter her soak again tonight and see if it comes off that way. I really dont want to hold a slippery aggressive snake!

    I used this today when my albino had some leftover skin on his head and a bit on the back. I let him soak for about half an hour while I cleaned his cage. I had to hold him close to the head with my husband holding his body to prevent death-rolls when peeling the face skin, but it came off in one chunk, eye caps and everything.

    In other news, he got himself a shiny new humid hide today.

    Re: Bad shed? No problem.

    I need some help. I haven't had both my snakes very long. The week prior, my bigger bp shed in a matter of a week. My smaller bp about a week ago, I noticed my bp's eyes were cloudy. So like my other bp, I misted the tank and monitored the humidity levels closely, but he still hasn't shed. I tried this technique, but the skin about his neck only came off a little more. His head has completely shed earlier this week, eye caps and everything... So what can I do or am I doing something wrong? Help!!!

    Thanka so much for the guide, I will be sure to use this guide if this ever happens to me. This is my first ball python and it hasn't gone through shed yet with me as an owner.But let's see how his first shed with me goes!
