I recently got 10 Colombian Red Tail boas who are all doing great except for one. He has been in shed for quite sometime and its just not coming off. I was told to soak him for a bit and keep him moist and then the skin should just come right off. I tried gently rubbing after he was soaking and not much came off. I didn't want to hurt him so I did not peal any at all. Is there something I can soak him in? What do you guys suggest? I feel really bad for the little guy he is crawling around the cage rubbing his body tryin to get the shed off. Let me know anything you think I can do to help him. Thanks guys

Paul

Hey there!
Read this Bad sheds.

It has lots of good advice.
But yes, soak him, for at least an hour, then let him crawl through a wet wash cloth letting him do ALL the work.
And keep him misted , several times a day.
