shedding problem

imadork Jun 04, 2003 04:05 PM

hey, i have a leo that has trouble shedding. i usually have to peel some pieces off or wet them with a cue-tip. the leo has a piece of skin on her head that seems to not come off. i just dont want to rip it off if its not falling off. ive tried a cue tip but that doesnt work. shes finished her shed and the piece has been on her head for a week now. can someone tell me what to do. thanks

a warm soak in water or a nice nap in a pillow case or snake bag with a warm terry cloth that is moist. If it is not on her fingers or nostrils, eyelids or anything that could be damaged and you still can't get it off you may wait till next shed and see if it comes off then just keep a close eye on it.
