Thanks.. I really enjoy Little Dude. He is so mellow and docile. He is the one that i will take out and chill with while on the PC. Hudina is a whole nother story though. I take her out and she is bee lining to find a new way to hide. Too many spots with a five yr old son, that I am fearful for her safety if she were to actually get away.

Quick question for any one who has had this issue......
I got Little Dude the very day that he arrived at Petco,. so I know that it was not their mishandleing but the breeders. While he was at the breeders, he had a shed (like all snakes do) but a small portion was retained on his tail. When I noticed it I helped him to get rid of it by soaking his tail in warm water and gently rubbing the tip of the tail... well to make the story short,... the tip of his tail came off with the shed. It has since healed. and he has had many sheds since then, but he is not able to do a complete shed by himself. He gets from the head down to the vent and then from the vent to the tip I have to help him with removing the shed.........
Does this seem normal? Will he eventually be able to shed on his own?

Ps I have no issues helping him shed and in all actuality that is our "special" time, but I worry that he will never be able to shed on his own.
