help (kenyan sand boa)

[RangerSmitty]

My baby sand boa finally shedded, 1 problem, he has shed all but ontop of his head and his eyecaps.

I have tryed to get m off with a damp q-tip but it seems to be on there pretty good, I dont wnt to pull on it just incase I harm my snake.

is there anything else I can try? or will it ventually come off?

Gentle rubbing with a wet cloth will work to. If you can get a hold of it you can pull it off, just make sure its good & moist & be gentle. You could go with a bath for a soak too, but not something I'd really recomend for a sand boa. Mark
P.S. the skin will likely come offf easier if rubbed/pulled to the back, the same way it would be shed naturally

When one of my EASBs fails to shed completely, I simply place it into a deli-cup with some damp paper towels that have been scrunched up to fill the space. The increased humidity and the frictional surfaces of the paper towel usually cleans them right up in no time (they tend to crawl all through the paper towels and this pulls the skin off).
Cheers,
Ryan

That's what I do also, works every time.

yeah I tried rubbing it off with a damp cloth but it did not work, it's stuck on their pretty good. I'll give the dam paper towel a try and let ya know my progress.

I hope this works. His caps have been stuck on for almost a week now.
