    Re: Are incomplete sheds dangerous to a snake's health?

    I always get all skin off. I had a bad experience with my Burm 20 years ago with a stuck shed on his tail. Make a long story short he is missing about 10” of his tail now. Just using a wet cloth hasn’t worked well for me. I let a snake soak for 15 min in warm water so the skin comes off in sheets not dried little pieces. I let them go through my hands several times until i get it all. I just had to shed my entire Burm last week. He got his head clean and seemed like he wanted me to do the rest hahaha. He is kept well and hydrated so after 10 min of crawling through my hands in the bathtub it came off in one piece.
