Question

Could i pill off the skin on my snakes head or should i leave it alone?

Answer 1

Well you can, but if the skin doesn't come off if you rub your finger over the snake's back then its not ready to come off.

If your snake has stuck on shed, put it in a damp pillowcase and put the pillowcase on a heat mat for a short period of time

You should also have a moist hide in the tank to aid shedding

Answer 2

it would be best to leave it alone

Answer 3

i insist you put your snake in a bucket (with a lid!!!!) with warm water. Or you can take it to the vet because if you do it yourself you might injure or even blind the snake.

Answer 4

Don't peel it!

Soak it in a luke warm bath for about 20 minutes and then let the snake crawl through a wet, warm wash cloth in your hands to work the old skin away. Might have to do it 2 or 3 times but only do it once per day.

Answer 5

increase the humidity in the habitat to avoid this problem next shed

Answer 6

Well,Put it in a the bath tub with warm water and it will come of within 10 minutes.and if it doesn't you can pill it of because it will be soft and wet enough it wont hurt or scar the snake

Good Luck
