Trouble with little man

[kev1144]

Going along the lines of the bad tail shed, I tried everything with little man and it's wound tighter than a balloon. It looks like the tip of the tail is about dead, I've tried everything (bubble baths, pilates, saunas, wet towel soaks, hitting bags of cold meat, verbally belittling him, nothing) I've put this snake through enough stress trying to get it off, if you take a look the little bubble is the killer..., has anyone's snake actually lost the tip of their tail? Does it grow back? I can keep trying if this is hurting him but he doesn't seem to even notice :|


He marches to the beat of his own drum...

After I posted this, I gave it one last try with a wet paper towel again per JoeJr advice. After talking it over with Tiernan we agreed to give it one last go because he wants to look like a stud when he grows up, and fortunately the skin came off with a harder hopefully not to hard pinch.

Thanks for coming.

You will lose the end of the tail tip. That's already dead. Hopefully the other section will recover although it looked pretty constricted too. Your snake will just have a rounded tip instead of a sharp one. That's one place you always need to check after shed.
