Shedding Q's

[KMG]

The snake isn't going to go through a whole new shedding process in the next week or so is it though , so the bits are gonna be falling off all over the place over the coming days .... There are well documented posts all over this forum showing how to soak and let the snake move gently through a damp towel afterwards ... It's certainly better than newbies trying to peel off bits with their fingers .....

I know a soak and towel will work and if the user wants to use that method they are certainly open to do so. It is not something that I usually suggest. As I said I don't believe its the safest method for a newer owner to try. There are many variables to it and I for one try to give the easy and safe advice so that nothing I say brings another's animal into a harmful place. Its just a little stuck shed. Pretty low on the danger scale and the humidity is what needs to be concentrated on.

If the user asks a question and does not like my suggestion they are certainly able to use the search option and find the same question answered a thousand times before. They can then pick the answer or resolution they see fit. However if they start a thread I will give the best advice I see to fit that situation.

When dealing with stuck shed I have no concern with the flaky shed and how many pieces a keeper may have to pick up as it comes off. My concern is finding a solution to the problem, which is humidity. I also don't consider it a hard task to pick up pieces of shed.
