  1. either put the snake in some luke warm water for a couple minutes or add more humidity to the cage at all times.


  2. Put it in a damp snake bag (pillowcase) for about twenty minutes. The skin should peel off easily. If the eyecaps do not come off with the rest, GENTLY remove them with a piece of scotch tape.

    If the skin is sufficiently moistened, this will be easy.

  3. Best thing to do is to put your snake in a warm wet pillow case and let him slither about in it for about 20 Min's , then try peeling the skin off by hand. (i always find just scratching lightly in the opposite direction works like peeling pva glue from the back of your hand!) If this dosent work, try soaking your snake directley in warm water and using sticky tape to remove the eyecaps . The remainder of the skin, if it won't be removed won't cause too much of a problem as long as its gone in the next shed but the eye caps need to be removed straight away!!
