Finished shedding need help

[Caleb McGuire]

My cornsake finished sheeding and i am just wondering whenever he will eat. he finished yesterday but he did a bad job. He still has about a inch of skin still on his tail when do you think he will be ready to eat?

After you help him remove the patch of skin from is tail.



To help with that......you can dampen a towel and let the snake crawl through that until it come off. Help rub it off, softly.

Look up at the top of this section for a sticky on bad/incomplete sheds. You can feed him after the remainder of the shed comes off, but it's important for the shed to be off or it will kill his tail.

...or it will kill his tail.
umm Nanci? ;)

What Nanci means is repeated build ups of stuck sheds tend to occur at the tip off the tail, and will cut off circulation and cause the tip to fall off, at best...it could lead to an infection at worse...
