first shed

Ive had my corn for a week now hes about 6 months old and on friday he started to shed, first time i seen a snake shed right in front of me and it was cool, so he he rubed and and pushed his body against the bark and slitherd out of his skin. Then i noticed the last 2 inches hadnt come off and he looked like he was really tyering out, so of i go to get my book and it says give him a spay withe tepid water or leave him in a damp bag over night, well didnt like the sound of the bag and couldnt find anything to give him a squirt with so i give him a warm bath for about 30 seconds put him back in his cage and he rubed again against his log and the rest came off, bye the end of it all i dont know who was stressed the most cos ive heard of things like make sure the last bit near the tail comes off and the eye caps, that all came off and he look cool with his new skin.

sorry for how long it is but being my first snake and all, i recomend everyone get1.

yes

It was good that you got the tail skin off. Its important as the skin can dry out and constrict the tail. glad you are enjoying your snake!
