    Question Who has helped a snake in your collection shed?

    I wanted to know who has helped a snake in your collection shed.It can be a full shed or just half a shed.Then how big was this snake you helped shed.I have helped numerous snakes over the years either shed them a full shed or just the tails.My largest snake i have helped shed was my large albino burm in the 12ft range.

    Re: Who has helped a snake in your collection shed?

    The only time I've helped mine is when they have pieces of stuck shed that I really need to get off (like on their head) when it doesn't come off with the next shed. I give them a warm soak and then just rub the stuck shed and it comes right off!

    The first time my corn ever shed I was actually holding him at the time.

    I kept watching him press his face into the palm of my hand and suddenly he broke the shed. I helped peel it back.

    21' tiger retic...one of our big girls. Thank goodness she's a total doll, temperament-wise! That's the biggest one I've worked on, anyway. I've hand-shed just about every species we keep at one point or another for whatever reason.

    I've had to assist a couple of my new arrivals that hadn't had proper care previously as well as one of my own that was just wonky.
