Be real careful with the tail. Try setting him on the bottom of a tub with a wet paper towel over the whole body except the head (if you try just doing that with the tail he'll just crawl out). Let it go for 5 or 10 minutes and try working it off that way. I had a neo with a nearly complete shed stuck earlier this year and got it off this way in about twenty minutes.
Cool snake though... you don't usually see the white spot on the head like that. Ours always start changing there first but it always goes darker!

Thanks! I will try that. And we have no idea whats up with the white head spot. There are a few white spots on his back as well as the few green ones. Should be fun to watch him change . He's a 'Biak' type originally from Bushmaster.

Re: New Addition...Skittle the GTP :)
Wow, he's absolutely stunning! I especially love the head spot! I'm going to have to get me a GTP, they're just too gorgeous not to keep. Can't wait to see how he changes, you'd better keep us updated!

make sure you get it off the tail though. sometimes it can cause damage to the tail if not taken care of.

I'm still working on it. I wanted to give him a few days after he ate to relax before I go at it again. Keeping his humidity up for now.
There are a few layers on there and I'm hoping that there isn't any damage already done to its tail.

Just a quick update...got the stuck shed off ! No more blood was drawn either :p. After a few more days of resting up he'll be ready for his new house.
