bad shed

so for the first time since we have had our sand boa it has had a bad shed and its stuck on its head... Do I soak it? might be a dumb question but Im scared I would drown the poor guy cause they arent like most snakes.

You can take a towel and soak it in some warm water and then gently rub the towel over the snakes head and it should help loosen the skin.

Dear lord why didnt I think of that??? thanks not sure where my mind is..

Rosys are sensitive to moisture and I wouldn't recommend soaking, they may get a RI from it. Do the towel method or a little mineral oil on a Q-tip works well just don't slather it especially of the nostrils.
