Removing stuck-shed: methods and the dangers i have always believed that a damp pillowcase for 15-20 minutes is the safest and most successful. a few people on there then began to reveal their horror stories about how many snakes they have killed from trying to get stuck shed off in a pillowcase.. Best answer: even though it is stressful on the snake you need to get that shed off. especially if the eye caps are still on. just get a damp warm wash cloth and gently hold his head and rug it against the shed to get it started to where you can pull it off.. After that is unnecessary and moves from the realm of helping your snake shed successfully to assisting it with a bad shed. leave it alone while it is shedding shedding is a stressful and uncomfortable process for a snake so leave it be. once you recognize that the snake is getting ready to shed you should minimize contact with it. spot.
Sponge bob fluff pants, my adopted ball python, is shedding for me for the first time. here he is rubbing off the last piece stuck on his head/face. he even gives a big yawn for the camera.. When the snake starts working on loosening and removing the head shed, get in there and assist, gently working the shed back over each of the eyes, keeping the shed moist, to make sure both eyecaps are removed.. To acclimate pet snakes to your presence, it is important to get your timing right, pick up the middle part of the snake�s body and use proper protection. with some common sense and a gentle touch, you can learn how to pick up and hold a tame snake that has been raised in captivity..
