I'm sure others have had probs with this so I searched the forums but couldn't find what I needed. Perhaps I just didn't search the right way. Either way, I'm in need of some help.



My BP shed...or tried to shed I should say...a few days ago. He got all of the head off, but the rest is still there. So I did what I've always done with all my snakes. Stuck him in a warm bath and let him swim around. Picked him up expecting to roll the skin off like I always have, but it's STUCK! Right behind the head it's like glue. I can tell there are patches down his body that are loose and ready to come off, but just can't seem to get it started. Feel sorry for the guy, he's been so patient with me picking at his head area trying to get his skin started...never hissed, jerked, or struck.



Any help?
