I had some humidity problems that led to a really bad first shed. I tried to fix it with soaking and rubbing but couldn't get the part off around his neck head and eyes. I also tried using tape but it seemed to pull the skin off in a very unnatural way so I stopped.



What finally worked was soaking him in warm water about 20 minutes and then working the skin off gently with a damp cloth. Before I was applying a bit of pressure with my fingers against the cloth but this time I was much more gentle and it actually worked better that way. It all came off very easy and naturally once I got the right motions and cloth going. Both eyecaps are now perfectly off.

The pics below were taken just a few moments after I removed the skin. He is about 100 grams and eating small adult mice around 18 grams in size each every 5-7 days without skipping a beat. Huge, healthy turds on this one too. I noticed he has some excess skin around his scales though. Is he a little fat?






This was taken 72 hours after his last meal.
