    I'd normally agree but he one I just replied to was clearly having a bit of a dig .... I love forums , I love reading about other people's experiences but I'm careful not to antagonise or upset anyone else or whatever .

    Apologies, I did not intend to make you feel like I was having a go, all I was saying is that we aren't going to help the OP out who wants advice on stuck shed.. Talking about why some snakes bathe but it's recommended not to bathe our own.

    That's fine but I don't get why there is such a fuss made about giving them a soak suggesting its bad for them ....when many give them a bowl big enough for them to soak in ...

    Well the OP already stated that he had tried bathing his BP and it didn't help, and thats where I go back to what I was saying earlier providing them a bowl to soak in, using it will be there choice not ours.

    No worries ... Nice to see another Brit though ... I feel a but outnumbered in here

    I was told years ago - for troublesome shed - to soak them for 30 mins and then feed them through a damp , rough textured towel .

    It's always worked 100% for me so I've done it ever since .... that's why I share my experience ...- I got slaughtered in another couple of threads for suggesting it though . Obviously if the humidity levels are correct there's not normally an issue .

    I'm out of here ... nice to meet you

    Re: Does he look ok? Still hasn't shed ??

    I've just tried a warm wet towel but found it difficult to direct him through the towel as he didn't like me applying the towel over his head! He just searched for a way out mostly so I think I'm just gonna leave him be and hope he sorts himself out??
    He is due a feed tonite so I will feed him as usual and leave him be for a few days .... I feel bad for him but I don't understand why he can't sort things out himself ? He hasn't been seen rubbing on things in his enclosure or anything it's like he's not fussed....
