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 lol
    my little one was definitely a curveball for me, too. i've never had to fully shed a snake.

    don't let that shed stay on too long or it can dry out and be even harder to remove. IMO you should get him soaking and you working on him sooner rather than later. use a cotton tipped applicator (or Q-tip ) on the delicate areas like the head and eyes.

    if you decide to soak him, be sure to use a tub with a lid so you can close it and allow the humidity to build and soften the skin. and wait that full 15 minutes for them to soak.
