    Small bit of shed left

    My female Bp shed about a week and a half ago and she cant seem to get the shed off the top of her head. Ive misted her and increased the humidity but it will not come off, and i dont want to pull it off. What should I do? I have a pic on my profile.

    Re: Small bit of shed left

    I dealt with the samething this morning. I just got a new bp that was in shed when it arrived. She got part of it off with but her head & 1/4 of her body was still left. I let her soak in a tub of water for about 20min, then I put her back in her tub & added some moist paper towels to her hide. She went right in & about an hour later I came back & she had got the skin off her head with no problem.

    If you do a humid soak in a closed tub with an inch of 85 degree water and a towel or a branch or something for the snake to rub against then it should be able to rub it off on it's own.
