Awww...how'd he get stuck on tape?Originally Posted by Kyle1989
And what kind of tape is it? How much is stuck? Just a little piece? Or a bit swatch?
The type of tape and how much of it is stuck on him will determine the best method for removal.
A common solution is to get a little dish of vegetable oil and some q-tips. Wet the tip in the oil and then rub it at the edge of the tape until a corner or end starts to roll up...then slowly work the oil down along the underside of the tape as the oil releases the stickiness.
That may be a lot easier said than done on a wriggling snake's chin. Depending on the type of tape and how much, you might try simply soaking the animal in a shallow bath. A lot of tapes will lose their stickiness when soaked. (Just fill a plastic tub with about 1/2" of water that feels neither warm nor cold to the touch...make sure it has a secure lid...and keep an eye on the snake throughout the whole soak.) Hopefully the piece will just come right off after that.
