Thanks I will give this a go tomorrow now as I've had him out tonight for 20 mins in a damp warm towel then put some damp moss in his hides for the night that's bumped his humidity up and staying at 70% at the moment so will see how he goes tonight. He's shed his full head and eye caps and about the first inch from his head then about 5 small patches from the side of his body near his belly, the tip of the tail is still stuck shed at the moment might get him bavk out soon to try remove the tail and see if he gets the rest off on his own. I thought I had shedding under control he's always had full sheds, he's Deffo thrown a curve ball on me lolOriginally Posted by tttaylorrr
i just had to hand-shed my little Pied boy as he only got his head shed off and refused to take off the rest.
i place the snake in a plastic tub filled with warm water (~80-85° F) up to the middle of the snake's body and let the skin soften for about 15 minutes. then i take a rough textured towel and, with gentle pressure, rub the towel over the snake's body as they move inside the towel.
if there's some bits of stuck shed, that's not a huge concern. stuck eyecaps, stuck nose or head shed, or stuck tail tip are the biggest conerns when it comes to stuck shed. if the snake has all of those critical areas cleared, i just ensure the humidity is correct for their next shed so it all comes off.
