I recommend feeding a mouse with tweezers and after the snake latches on, keep tension with the tweezers while using a q-tip that has been wetted with warm water and removing the stuck shed with the other hand!

The tail tip stays on because they don't rub their tail on anything to remove it. I have a boa who has very poor shedding on her lower jaw and her tail tip.

My 8-year old male ball python always sheds imperfectly, like the one shown in your video. The top of the head, the sides and top of the neck always remain stuck on. But I raised a great baby, a rare gem. I sit with her wrapped around my arm and I gently mist the area with lukewarm water while stroking the dead skin. It just sits there, enjoying its spa day. It is not head shy and when it feels I have loosened a section of dead skin, it gently moves its body away while I hold the dead skin and it finishes the peeling for me. It's a collaborative process. Never has it tried to bite me. It knows the drill and I like to think it enjoys the procedure. We love our snake.

Stuck shed really shouldn’t be common. I run a BP rescue and have never had the issue. If this is common for someone they need to fix their husbandry. Stuck shed on the tail is the equivalent of wearing the same ring from the time you’re a baby. It will cut off circulation.
@kitsune0rei

My first snake had a bit of stuck shed on her nose and stuck eyecaps. After a soak, I had good luck with using one of those microfiber screen cleaning cloths and dipping it in warm water so it was damp. She is head-shy so I just gently rubbed at the stuck parts and they came right off. I gave her a break between eyecaps.

This is the first video you’ve made I don’t agree with. The water for a ball python should never be above 85°. Ideal is between 80-85 but starting at 85 is good because the water will start to cool down. You can sit the tub on a heat pad to help keep the water warm. 85° feels almost cool to us so you MUST use a temp gun to check. You should always put a hand towel in the water with the snake so it can slither through and get most of the shed off itself, leaving minimal stuck shed for you to remove. This way you don’t have to stress the snake any more than absolutely necessary. It’s also helpful to put a large object in the water such as a rock or cup for the snake to wrap its tail on and ground itself, making it more comfortable while in the water. For beginners dealing with eyecaps in general is a bad idea. They often can’t tell the difference between eye creases and eye caps. We don’t want beginner keepers trying to peel eye creases off! The best thing to do is keep your husbandry correct because a healthy shed will take care of eye caps and eye creases. You probably should explain the difference before giving the tape advice, that could be incredibly dangerous. Can’t wait for more Rosie content!

Even after finally getting it to come off her face was a little off looking until she went through several more sheds before it finally looked normal. Great video

@@reptilesrequired4239 this reply is super late but i feel like my response could be helpful. i have ADHD so i constantly struggle with the issues you described and i am familiar with how it feels to love caring for my pets, but my disorder makes it very difficult at times. i only have 1 ball python right now but to help me stay on top of her care i write down important info like when she last ate, shed, pooped, etc so i don't lose track of time between feedings and i don't forget any important info. i keep that next to her enclosure so it's always in the same spot and easily accessible to stay motivated i try to follow a lot of reptile related things on social media and youtube, that way these things are showing up on my feeds a lot and seeing them often makes me feel motivated and i am always learning new stuff. if you have executive dysfunction like me, it can be really hard to just get up and do a thing like cleaning/feeding, but reminding myself that this animal is completely dependent on me usually helps me get over that enough to force myself it can also be helpful to leave reminders for yourself like on your phone, post it notes around your room or house, to just keep your pets and their care on your mind. i love my snake dearly but due to my ADHD i can easily get distracted by another hobby and she just isn't on my mind, especially since she doesn't do much beside sit in her hides, so simply being reminded often that this animal exists and is under my care can help me a lot i hope this helps, even if you don't have ADHD. just don't feel guilty, i used to feel guilty a lot because of my struggles but it's better to put that energy into providing the best care you can :)

Thanks for the video, my python had stuck shed on his head and eye cap and i got it off. Oh boy does he hate me now. He flailed so much i felt like i was going to hurt his neck so i kept releasing him and doing it over. It was a fight, but i got it

Try adding a shed box when they hit the blue phase. Just a moistened Tupper Ware container filled with sphagnam moss and a hole cut in the lid. I keep a shed box in there all the time because I keep my ball on Aspen bedding but I've never had a problem with him shedding.

Agree with adding a shed box. Also bump up the humidity throughout. If it's in a glass terrarium, try putting plastic over most of the screen to hold in humidity.

Wow. After watching your video I calmly pushed back Naia’s stuck shed over her eye caps and nostrils.... it took some time, and lots of squiggling around. Usually she would never ever let me get close to her head, but she somehow knew I was trying to help her get the annoying shed off and was a real trooper. Quite the adrenaline rush and ordeal for me, the 15 minute soak I think definitely helped but wow I was super worried after reading about retained eye caps :(. The weather is changing and I think I have to go back to her coconut fiber mulch mix substrate in addition to paper towels to hold in her humidity more because omg I do n o t want to do that to her again. That sucked for the both of us but was a total relief when it all came off. Jeez. Thanks for the assurance Alex!

Tip- wet towel. Soak a towel in warm water, wring it out some, place snake in towel for a couple of minutes, apply slight pressure and let snake slither through your hand in the towel. The roughness of the towel, along with warm humidity will peel that skin right off and there's less stress because the snake is in a dark place "hiding." Note: always monitor your snake as you do this. You don't want to walk away and your snake slithers out of the towel and gets lost. :)

So when it comes to a ball python having stuck layers of shed, only in their nostrils, what would you recommend? I have been asking around and just seeking many answers, and your opinions with the caretaking have helped all three of my ball pythons in the long run. Some people have told me to soak her, have somebody hold her still while I use tweezers to pull (in the shed direction, toward the back of the head) and try to get it out. The thing I think really risky with that is accidentally pulling her inner scales or causing worse harm /stress.

Thanks for the vid, even for a few years old, it was very helpful. I haven't had a snake in many years, my wife got me a Ball for Christmas. He ended up with mites and a severely stuck shed. Got the mites gone, and got his shed cleared up today. Never had to deal with one quite so bad before. You're right, a little stress up front is worth it, compared to a snake losing it's eyesight. It's less stress to help them, and my little Rafiki Nyoka actually helped me help him after he figured out what I was doing. Soaking alone wasn't doing it, and I was very reluctant to pull his shed off, but I think it was entirely justified, considering how happy he seems now. Just be very gentile! I've never had a snake let me handle his head in such a manner before, it was a unique experience.

@StonedDead1981 Год назад
@@Bumzigana I got some shed soak and soaked for 15-20 mins a day. Then i rubbed on the skin till it loosened, very, very gently. Mine ended up having a whole new shed under the stuck. I gripped the loose end and rubbed his belly till he pulled it off himself. As for the mites, I ended up using spray. I sprayed the cage down, all his stuff except water bowl, and I didn't wash the spray out like it was directed. I let it dry, then put him back in. No more mites. The brand I used was Miracle Care Reptile Spray. It's not the correct way to use it, but I was desperate, and it worked.

Ok so nothing to do with snakes but curious. Should I be concerned about egg compaction in my female beardie. She is on her 3rd clutch seemingly normal egg laying behaviors. Is egg compaction common is healthy females or just unhealthy beardies? I think I know the answer because my husbandry and diet is better than most but just thought I’d ask. Love your channel and of course I take my beardie to the vet if I feel there is a problem but thought I’d ask your perspective

I help my pythons when needed by soaking them in a container like you did for 10- 15 minutes. But I put them in a pillowcase I soaked over in the warm water, tie the end & place it in the bathtub. In about 5 minutes untie the pillowcase & let them come out. Stubborn skin gone & I didn't force anything.
