her tail won't drop off in the next couple of days, think of it as a tourniquet, either use the moss hide and let her do it herself or use the wet towel/facecloth, something with a little bit of friction to run through with you adding a little bit of pressure, i've done this before and its worked really well, don't pull it off though just let it slide off |

did you put your snake in the moss before you ran her through a wet towel? am extremely worried and where gonna try get the retained skin off asap as a read on here that it could mean loss of their tail if its kept like this too long :(!! |

you can run her tail through a wet towel. exactly the same thing happened to one of my snakes this week,i put a moss box in wiyth her as there was quite a bit still on the tail. she went in the box straight away and a day later all the shed had come off by it's self |
