ok, i have already mentioned that i got a new young ball python on the 25th of oct. right after i got her she went into a shed cycle. i think the stress of everything caused her to have a really bad shed cycle..

i have given her some soaks and helped get most of the skin off. but theres still some left on the head and neck- including her eyes and her nose. she tries to rub it off of her nose, but shes having trouble getting it.....

is there anything i can do that wont hurt her, drown her, or freak her out worse than she is to help get the rest of the shed off of her? and wont get me bit? :P

i put a rock in her tank so she has something rough and heavy to rub on.....ive tried moist moss, etc...i make sure shes got clean water every day, etc...



i did go ahead and feed her a small hopper, which she ate after she got a good taste of the bloody spot on its little belly.

i feel bad for her. i just want her to see and breathe without all that dead skin. i want to be able to hold her and her trust me that im not going to be picking at her..LOL...





thanks yall
