My boa shed about 2 days ago and I just noticed she is very sensitive when I touch the tip of her tail , she pulls it away. After looking more carefully I notice the tip of her tail (about 1 cm) is kinda hard and looks like if it has some kind of infection and there is a thin layer of shedding still covering it.

As to any questions about the snake you might ask.....she is just under 36inches and NO she wasnt bit by a mouse.

Anyone have any suggestions??

Whats the humidity in your set up? I would try soaking her for 20-30 minutes. Maybe there is unshed skin still there. Other than that I think others here might have better/other suggestions.

Also, if possible a Pic of her tail (close-up) would really help.
