Shedding problem??

iampoobla May 07, 2006 12:47 PM

Well, My snakes shedding has gone generally well, but theres a buildup of shed on her head, and one of her eyes is still cloudy, is there any way I can get this off?

You could take her in the bathroom and rinse some warm water over her while gently rubbing the skin back in the direction that it would normally shed off.

If you would prefer not to do that, put her in a sterilite tub with a locking lid, with enough warm water to go midway up her sides when lying in the water, like a half inch of water if she is a baby, and leave her in there for 15-20 minutes. Checking her all the while of course.

Or just put some moist paper towels in her cage for her to rub against
