Stuck shed on burm...

[Squirtle]

My albino burm shed yesterday after school, and he got everything off, most importantly his tail and eyes. He still has a small amount of shed left, though, and it's on the bottom part of his mouth. It starts from his bottom lip, until the back of his neck. Anyone know how I can get this off? I tried peeling it off, but it's very difficult and looks like it'll hurt him if I peeled it off with force.

Have you given him a bath? I think someone hear said they would put him in a moist pillow case and let him squirm around, and it usually got the shed off or something. (granted you have a small burm)

He's too big to fit inside a pillow case. I gave him a bath yesterday after his shed, but it still hasn't come off. Should I try again?

If he's docile enough to handle then I would take a decent sized towel soak it in warm water and have him slither through your hands/towel.

I'll try this tomorrow and report back on how it went.

You need roughage along with the moisture hence the towel/bag techniques. If his cage doesnt have anything rough (like cork bark/logs/rocks) add something for him to rub on for next time. Its much easier to get the shed off when you have a branch or something to hold it for you.

There's also the future potential of buying some thick sheets and sewing your own giant snake bag.

The potential market for that is probably a billion dollar business. Burmbags or snake snuggie hahaha

Get him wet and Peel that last bit off.

Get him wet.

Lol!

On that note, I'm going to bed.

Get her wet, and she'll take it off

On that note, of the previous note, I'm also going to bed.
