This morning I noticed a few of my baby radixes hadn't completed their sheds. They were unable to complete it from their cloaca and the tail tip. My job is to run some warm water at the kitchen sink and finish the shed for them. The problem is, the shed is so thin it's hard to get it started. This morning I spotted the 3M pad in the sink. I picked it up and ran it under the warm water. I folded it over with the snakes tail in between. I then let the snake pull its tail through the pad. The pad is rough enough and the fibers are fine enough to grab a hold of the shed. It worked the first time I tried it and the second and the third. All the snakes were happy and so was I.
So, give it a try and let me know what you think.
