    I just had to go through a VERY stressful time with my snake, helping him get his stuck shed off. Luckily, I got everything off (Including eye caps) except for a little part under his head, but don't risk it.

    It was not fun, and my snake probably trusts me less now, but I didn't hurt him or do anything bad, I just helped him out.

    Good luck,

    PS: If you don't know how to get your humidity up (Assuming it isn't up right now), you should:
    • Put sphagnum moss in his hot side hide
    • Put damp (not wet) paper towels in both of his hides
    • Mist his cage
    • Cover the screen top (If you are using a glass tank)

    Humidity is currently 70% on cool side and 68% on the warms side. I just added a damp hide when I saw his eyes, and the screen has been covered since I got it. I have been both dreading and anxiously waiting for this day since I got him. I just finished my the semester at school so I'll be home for the next three days to be sure everything stays ok, Heck, I'll probably sleep in the living room tonight to make absolutely sure that everything goes as well as possible - he has a "moonlight blue" lamp at night so I can see him without using a flash light or getting super close to the cage
