Wow I even got a photoshopped snake salad pic with that question! Tigger is a new aquisition guys. I purchased him this way. He is otherwise healthy and I watched him feed before I got him. One of his eyecaps did not shed off and there is a small amount of old skin on the side of his head but the rest of him looks good. I have never heard of anyone using olive oil before today but now I know it makes scales fall off and some people hungry. Anyways I was hoping after soaking him it would eventually fall off and it has not so I have been seeking alternative methods. This was one that was suggested to me. Seems to have been a bad suggestion (why I checked it out first). Good to know I can come here and get helpful advice.
