EMERGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snakemaster24 Jun 04, 2008 09:07 PM

My Taiwan beauty snake was in shed and I was putting some Duct tape on his large tupper wear container he came out and got stuck on the tape. I ran him and the tape under water but a little shed came off. He is still in the blue phase and help would be appriciated. It examined the snake and he looked clear. But I would like to know what you think or what I should do!!!!

Relax. If you keep the humidity up within it's cage and even mist it a few times per day until if finishes shedding it should be fine.

After it sheds, if some of the shed is left due from the tear you can soak for a few minutes and slowly, gently peel it off.

Hang in there!
