At this point, I'm thinking I may just leave the piece that's left... it's only a small piece, and trying to get it off is stressing out poor James.My husbandry is perfect, as proven by the fact that 3 snakes who share his rack have perfect sheds - so I'm really not sure why he's having trouble! He's been refusing food the last few weeks, so hopefully he'll start eating again & have another shed soon.
