    Yea I read that. Well got that other cap off with a wet q tip and now he has completely shed. THANK GOD!! Thanks everyone for all the help! He has some spots around his neck that he wouldn't let me get but it is ver minor and should come off by tom by moving. Will check it out tom and get em off if they aren't.

    One thing that worked for me in the past for stuck shed was wetting a towel with warm water, gently put the snake in the towel, hold the towel and snake with light pressure and let it kind of crawl out through your hands. I hope you can kind of picture that...

    Re: Strange Behavior

    My own little female looked like that only once, a couple months ago. It didn't alarm me, though; I just knew she had to shed, by looking at her. I did feel a little bad, however. She looked so uncomfortable.

    That rolling porbably is, and hopefully only, because he really wants to get that old skin off. He's frustrated. Give him regular soakings until it all comes off. If the rolling and corkscrewing continues AFTER the shed, seek a vet, immediately.

    Yea I will, but been watching him and he seems happy. He roamed for a bit in his new skin and now just chillin'
