Shed Question

[ckuhn003]

That's why he needs a very damp towel over his head...no point soaking his body, he won't submerge his head.
This probably won't be the first time you'll need to help a snake shed, so no time like the present to learn to keep him quiet & cooperating to finish what he started.

Be gentle & persistent, but win the battle of the shed... One reason the old skin often sticks on their heads is that the scales are smaller. Be sure to check the chin-
that's a common place where it sticks & it's hard to get off, even with our help.

So I tried once more w/ a larger damp towel and I was able to get some shed off. Not sure if there is more left to come off because it's hard to tell but I wanted to let him alone for awhile. This is probably the most intimate I've been with him since I got him and I was happy to say he never became defensive. I'll try again maybe tomorrow if I notice some shed still on his head area. It's a little difficult for me to tell.
