Re: Snake Update

ive done that few tiem in my bathtub . but most the time ill give my snake a nice warm soak for about an hour in a sweater box and i give him stuff like rocks to keep him outa the water if he dont like it at the moment, i will put a heat pad under to create lots of humidity , its like a steam room for a snake.i will mist his head here n there through the hour to keep wet. after about 30mins to an hour ill take him/her out and eye caps usualy come off easy

I've had good luck holding their head under slowly flowing water for a few seconds, then giving them a minute or two to regroup; then wetting them again. Then I'll remove the retained skin.
