Despite your best efforts, your snake may not shed completely. if your snake does not finish shedding within one to two weeks, see a vet. a veterinarian can help remove the remaining skin and examine your snake. usually, shedding problems are caused by a lack of humidity, but you'll want an exam to rule out any possible underlying health problems.. In this video, blizzard my snow corn snake had a bad shed, so i show you guys how i helped her with it! hey everyone! my name is jordan and i love animals (mostly reptiles) and drumming!. If your snake is very large, or if it has a bad temper, it might simply be wisest to take the snake to the vet to assist with an incomplete shed. this is particularly true if you are having trouble with retained eye caps..
It is possible to contribute to a bad shed by soaking prior to the actual shed. these steps should be taken after the shed has failed to come off. if the snake has not managed to complete it's shed after 24 hours, then it's okay to help it out. step 1 - start with a bad shed. they're really not a big deal, and happen to everyone.. Since your snake is having a bad shed take a plastic box, large enough for your snake to fit in it comfortably. get the short boxes for soaking snakes�the box should be about the height to go under a bed.. Your snake's appetite may decrease or it may not want to eat. your snake may become more skittish or defensive because it can't see well due to the shedding process. shedding is very stressful for the snake. when your snake is ready to shed, it will seek out rough surfaces in the enclosure to help rub the skin off..
