Seriously ive had the snake one day and its shed allready...

Its was really bad, the head and eye caps came off fine, then it started to come off in patches. I bathed him and most of it came off, but im pretty sure there is still a bit left on at the tip of the tale. Any tips on how i could get it off if it is still there?

Thanks Dean.

P.S. I wouldnt have took him from the shop on saturday if i knew he was in shed.

Keep doing what your doing every few days so you dont over stress him. Vegetable oil works really well for stubborn bits of shed and its less stressful then a complte bath. Try putting a blob on his til ank working it off with either your fingers, a cloth or a cotton wool bud.

If this is unsuccesful, place a nice moist hid in there with him and he should work it off himself.

I just checked on him, and he did have a little bit left on the tip of his tail, i managed to work it off quite easily, and im pretty sure its all off now. Lets hope his next shed is a better one.
