All my BP's and Carpets shed fine with the exception of the occasional stuck shed on the tip of the tail. I watch for this and take the appropriate action using a Q-tip and either glycerin or mineral oil to soften it up.
But my 2012 Fire female has, well; I'm not sure how to describe it other that the whole freaking shed is still on her. I let it go a day and a half or so before taking the following action...
I soaked her in water just now, a lot softened up and I peeled 60-75% off by hand but she's one of my "meaner" BP's and is REALLY nippy.
I’m concerned about the shed over the eyes, how do I go about lifting those off? Is it a “fairly” easy procedure or is this something that a more experienced herp friend could help with? Or should this be done by a vet?
Why did this happen in the first place? My humidity is lower than I would like, around 50% with a humidifier. I don’t know how to get it higher short of buying a second humidifier.
Did I do the right thing by “assist shedding” for lack of a better term? Should I continue assisting with the rest or???
