hey guys
both my corns hav started to shed. my amel is a bit further on than my carolina. however my amel is shedding in pieces rather than in one shed. i hav found the head piece and the eye caps are in tact. any advice on how to get the rest off? i have tried bathing him for about 10 mins, but no luck. i am quite worried tbh
any help would be appreciated
thanks |

you could try putting a damp hide in the viv, but sometimes snakes just don't use them. try another bath in a day or two. i really wouldn't worry just yet though and keep us posted on progress  |

| just to update you. i have now bathed him twice for roughly 10 mins each session and still nothing is happening. s/he also has a damp hide and i have raised the humidity in the viv as much as i can. is there anthing else i can do? or is it best to just wait and see? |

| leave him a day to settle then try another bath, up to 20 mins should be fine. by increasing the humidity inside the viv that should help him rub any annoying bits off. any pics nosh? |

| When mine go blue eyed I just pack some damp sphagnum moss into his cold hide, he curls up into that and hey presto, clean sheds so far! |
