Bad Shed?

[mnolan9876]

My RTB Shed a few weeks ago. and Went into blue again just 4 days ago. He was in blue for 2 days, and i sprayed him down the past 4 days. He started to shed and he has shed down to his neck. Problem is, he hasnt shed anymore for a day, the skin is just hangning there, and I want to help him out, but i know i shouldnt. Is there anything that i can do or do i just let him work it off on his own?

Thanks, Nolan

Your best bet is to soak him overnight in a plastic tub with airholes in the top. Put in just enough tepid water to cover his body, place a heat mat under half the tub and set it to warm or low, whichever is the lowest setting. Put a small towel in that is folded up so he he has something to rest his head on and to help him shed the skin. Put the lid on, make sure it's secure and leave him until tomorrow.

I have several sizes of plastic Tupperware-type containers with air holes punched in the lids. I'll either take a cloth or paper towel, moisten it to the point that its damp, but not soggy. Place the moistened towel in the container, place the snake on the towel, close it up and leave 'em be for awhile. Usually within a few hours the snake has itself all cleaned up, but it may take a little more time...just depending on the specific situation.
