Hello,
I got a new Macklots python today. I noticed it was in shed and had a lot of loose skin. I soaked him in warm water for a while and most of his shed came off in big sheets... around his head a neck was sort of stuck on so I tried to peel away what I could after soaking a bit more. I have a couple questions:
Was this too truamatic to do for a snake that I just got home a few hours before?
Some skin stayed on around his head. Will he be able to get this off by himself? I felt it was stuck on to well and didn't want to stress him out even worse.
What do I do to help him or is this a case of better LESS than more?
Also is it possible to scratch the new skin? I saw a light spot as if a scale came off. Is this possible and if so will it heal/grow back?
