    Re: Our snake is going through a bad shed.(Head & neck skin remains)

    So she now was soaked for the 5th day in a row tonight and still her head skin and spectacles remain.

    As of 2 days ago her eyes are no longer "dented" so I guess that means she is at least no longer dehydrated so that is a baby step in the right direction I guess. We did try and put a half log in the container for her to rub on while soaking but it didn't help at all.

    We have no idea what to do anymore except try a "shed aid" spray. I did an advanced google search of this entire website to find posts mentioning shed aids and many people say the shed aids have worked for them and many others just say the shed aids are worthless and that doing a soak a day or 2 in a row will do the trick....it's been 5 days in a row now and as I already stated the first soak worked wonders because 75% of her skin was shed by the next morning but there has been very little progress since then because its not like she wants to put her head underwater when she is being soaked and that is now the only problem area.(She has shed completely backwards as only her head and a small area of neck remains to be shed)

    I don't know what else to do at this point other then try a spray...

    Going to go to petco tomorrow to get this:

    at 2.25 fl oz for over 6 bucks it seems ridiculously overpriced but we don't know what else to do at this point. (of course any further advice would be VERY WELCOME though!)
