Alrighty folks, I haven't been on here for a while but I'd like to get back in the community again (such a wonderful group of people you all are, and yes I did that shamelessly).
Anyways, to the reason I posted this thread, a sand boa of mine, a female I picked up four years ago at a Reptile Expo in Pasadena and currently one of my favorites (she's so gentle... Well I mean most of them are, but she's definitely the most passive out of my collection), she's always had this problem with complete sheds... As in it's never happened.
Whenever she turns that infamous milky blue, I don't hesitate to help with the sheds. I give her a moist bowl of moss, a few small logs with rough edges, and two baths (one with this zilla shed ease and another with only a few moist paper towels), but it doesn't ever seem to help much. She always retains some shed, but never in those crucial places like the spectacles or her tail tip. Usually it's the underneath of her chin and some patches right behind her head along her spine. Not to mention I have to dig through her aspen to spotclean out the numerous scraps left behind.
This isn't urgent or particularly troublesome, she's been this way since I got her, but it would certainly be of some help for people with snakes prone to stuck shed to help me out with this.
Thanks in advanced for any and all responses
