Re: What are these red marks?

It is a big deal.

Some might disagree with me, but if you see a bad shed, either soak the snake and then remove the shed with something like a washcloth; or, just go with a wet washcloth and stroke the shed off.

If you leave sheds on the tip of the tail, it could eventually end up constricting the blood flow and part of the tail will die and fall off...if it doesn't go septic and you end up having to visit a vet for antibiotic treatments.
