    Nostril Shed Problem

    So, i picked up a BP about 5 weeks ago. She had shed about 3 weeks before I got her, and shed a few days after I brought her home. She was puffing her neck up, so I had her into the DR twice to check for issues. As she was wheezing, and puffing her neck up. He indicated that it was stuck shed in and around her nostrils and 'The next shed should get rid of it'. But it has not, I have soaked her with no release of the 'nostril straws' lol. What can I do about this short of holding her and trying to take them off using a q-tip or tweezers?

    Has anyone else seen this?

    Upping humidity in the cage can help a lot. If you can get he humidity to 70-80% for a few days it should help with some stuck shed. If not you cna either up humidity next shed or you can do a prolonged soak in a tub while observing.
