Yeah your right i couldn't word the scales in between his eye at the time because snakes don't have eyelids haha (Which is the only word i could think of at the time). Darn i really wish i took a pic of him watching South Park though because it was indeed cute. The main concern though is my ball python is EXTREMELY head shy. Me putting a tweezer anywhere near his head is comparable to water boarding him. Is that my last option, a friend in real life basically told me to wait for it to come out and gave the example of a splinter working it's way out the skin. I just want some advice on how to work on a snake whose extremely head shy?
