my python prince has had his first really bad shed i put him in a warm bath and put a moss house in and the majority seems to have come off but there is still some left on his neck. hes really head shy so he wont let me assist him and ive run out of ideas to get it off, the vet said to wait for his next shed and it should come off his is a good idea? is doesnt seem to be causing him any problems and hes eaten fine please help :(

if its too good to be true then it probably is... unless its royals, gotta have royals

So long as the eye caps and tail are off then its not a huge deal.

The best way forward is, get a warm wet towel, hold your snake and towel in your hands and let him crawl through, apply a little pressure but not too much, the skin should soften and come off after some time

hope i made sense lol
