My male black milksnake shed his skin about 2 weeks ago, but about an inch of it stayed on his head, as if he was wearing it like a mask or hood. I've let him keep it for 2 weeks, hoping he'd rid himself of it, but he hasn't.
Finally, tonight I shredded a few paper towels, dampened them, and put them in a large deli cup with holes in it for breathing. He's in the cup now. -- Am I doing the right thing to help him remove the extra skin? --How long should I leave him in the cup, and do I need to do anything after i remove him from it if the skin is still on? -- Will it damage him if it remains on him until his next shed?
Thanks,
David Leary,
Durham, NC
