    Bad shed

    My BP shed a few days ago I left him alone when I took him out yesterday there was a large piece of skin still stuck It goes around the whole body from where the "neck" gets thick and is 2 or more inches I tried misting him and using a cloth no luck I am now soaking him BUT the bugger wont put that part of his body in the water no matter how deep I know my humidity was good during the shed maybe even too high So what do I do next if the soak doesnt work?? and Is it Ok to feed him (he is soaking in his feeding tub and all rilled up) or do I wait to feed until Thursday as usual?? can I pull the shed off or not its very loose and dried out Thanx for the help

    You can soak him in a container with a lid that way its like a sauna haha then get a wet towel and let him slide through the towel wih your hand causing some pressure so the skin loosens. You may need to do the towel thing a couple times.

    And I would feed him at his normal time.
