I "rescued" a redtail today from a family who kinda took ok care of him/her. The only thing I am concerned about is on the very tip of the tail is some skin that seems to of not been shed off. It looks like it is compressed on the last quarter inch of the tail and hasnt allowed it to grow. Any ideas on how to get it off? Soaking didnt help and the skin is to tight for me to try to remove it with forceps. The snake is just under 3 feet and seems to healthy in all other aspects.
