Boas tail tip stuck shed

[Low123]

Hi all I apologise firstly if there has already been a subject similar I did have a quick search but nothing turned up but last week I noticed a stuck shed on the tip of my baby boas tail so I managed to soak it and get it off I know I got it off because I checked to see the size of the bit I got off and it looked like there was nothing left on the tail but I noticed today that there is still some there she is a rescue and I've only had her a week or 2 now so I haven't seen her shed yet I'm not sure of the age but she is about 4 foot ish I can't keep her still enough to measure her and she's still settling in so I don't want to stress and she's about 375grams (not sure if that's a good weight but the guy I rescued her from said she was on medium mice which to me seemed too small so last week I gave her a large mouse and this week I gave her a weaned rat which she ate quite happily) anyway what I was mainly wondering is that is it possible that she had a stuck shed on previous sheds and the bit I managed to remove was just from her last shed because it looks really tight and I've had snakes with stuck sheds on the tip of the tail before when I kept a brazilian rainbow boa and I don't remember that being as tight as that? And should I just keep trying to soak it and pulling them off or will that stress her too much? Thank you all for your time and advice

Yes that could be multiple layers stuck. I would advise soaking her for a few minutes and then afterwards using a wet cloth and putting it in your hand, and wrapping it around the area of the snake with slight pressure so that they crawl through the snake and shed the remainder of the skin. Best of luck.

Thank you very much I will try that tomorrow that sounds like a better and less stressful way of doing it with just my fingers and less chance of getting bit too
