    Usually works like a charm.
    Sometimes I have to run them under warm water and peel them if the shed box fails.

    Yeah, so far it hasnt worked. He looks more crinkly, but Tiny is a lazy little one. He doesn't like me touching him to help him, but he doesn't seem to want to do anything himself. I checked on him just a minute ago and he was just coiled up under the cloth, which had gotten cool. I reheated it and put him in there again so hopefully he'll get it done, if not, time for me to help him. He'll probably struggle a lot.

    Tiny ended up needing assistance, at first he was struggling and didn't like me helping,but the shed was stuck on his head. After a few warm soaks, he eased up and seemed to enjoy the help. He's relaxing in my palm now and his shed is all gone.
    He might have some stuck on his eye but iI think I got it off

    Do you see both eye caps in the old shed?

    Re: Meet the gang!

    It came off in pieces and I know one eye came off separate from the heads part of the shed. I think part of the shed fell off my desk, I cant find all of it. Is there any way to tell other than looking at the shed? I know at first the reason I caught that it didnt come off of his eye is because it had a white ring around it. I don't see that now, and I gently tried peeling it off, but he's so tiny that I couldn't get ahold of it so i got my finger damp and let him rub his face against my finger. After that he stopped trying to rub his face against things and I no longer saw the white ring.

    A warm damp cotton towel can be rubbed over the eye but it sounds like it might be off already.

    He's gone to bed right now, all of them seem to hide around 9 pm, like they know its their bed time. I'll check on him tomorrow and rub a warm damp cloth on him softly just to make sure that it is off, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. Better safe than sorry.

    That's good news. You caught it time to get it off. Little snakes are great risk of death if they retain a shed too long. Lost a baby radix like that, and I nearly lost pingping to a retained shed although he died from unknown causes a while later.

    Your's are better trained than my Mine never want to go to bed. Turning out the lights mean more time to be out of the hides.
    After lights out I do a couple security checks, I usually find most of my snakes out cruising(plotting).

    Yeah, mine just know around 9 is when their dad gets home, and if its movie night one of them gets taken out to watch a movie. None of them like the scary movies we watch Mama's the only one who doesn't fuss when I'm watching a movie, as long as I don't wake her up. Snap, if I have her with me, will tell me when she wants to be put back. She'll be all calm, curled up in my hand... Then she unleashes a big smelly load of poo on me. I love her so much...
