How to avoid stuck shed on snakes: ruclips.net/video/6cXYMny5CPw/видео.html
I recommend feeding a mouse with tweezers and after the snake latches on, keep tension with the tweezers while using a q-tip that has been wetted with warm water and removing the stuck shed with the other hand!
The tail tip stays on because they don't rub their tail on anything to remove it. I have a boa who has very poor shedding on her lower jaw and her tail tip.
I use aspen with my ball python and never had a stuck shed problem ;))))))
(do use a humidity box when in shed)
How is this comment 3 days old??
You said 90 to 100 degrees and I freaked out as I’m Canadian and I always just assume Celsius and 100 is boiling point
Then I remembered your American
Phew
As an European I can confirm that it is indeed very confusing
In my experience even people outside America that typically use Celsius tend to still use Fahrenheit when it comes to keeping their reptiles just for the sake of greater accuracy when checking temps at hotspots and such.
Yeh imagine putting your boop noodle in near boiling water

I don’t have a snake, nor do I plan on getting one. But I keep watching your videos ‘cuz your mellow voice soothes my exam anxiety.
Emmerentia Jacobs omg my mom said whenever I watch these she gets really tired cause his voice is too calming
Good luck for your exams! You can do it!
Right! Some people r just fun to watch whatever the content. Taras Kul is like that, just very pleasing/entertaining to watch. Made me realize I was watching certain channels cuz of the person, not what I was learning. Those people can make BANK if they realize content doesn't matter as much.
We would watch Alex if was narrating washing dishes.
i always watch his videos before bed bc it calms me down and i can actually sleep. it’s not that he’s boring bc i now have a new obsession w reptiles i never knew i had but i love being able to sleep so i love him haha
Wtf ?
bdmdhfkdjd the captions say “bald python” i’m crying
I mean, it’s technically right...
They need little wigs or something
Lol on a video about removing scales.
Gotta get that skin off of that bald python
6:03 Shell damage
I use to soak a pillow case in hot water, wring it out, put the snake inside, let sit for a few minutes and BOOM sexy snake.
Elisa Graves love this “boom sexy snake” 😂
This is what I always did! It let them work it off themselves, even their heads.
Salty Dogs yeah skin would literally fall right off after just a couple minutes in the sack 😅
Great idea!
Heard that can suffocate them.
Just to note, 100 degrees FAHRENHEIT. Celsius is literally boiling water, I doubt anyone would make that mistake.
It was just kind of funny to hear you refer to 100 degree water as "not too hot."
DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun I think everyone knows he lives in America he makes it point that people know that
@@elisestillman2063 no there are a few comments talking about it and how they almost made the mistake
My 8-year old male ball python always sheds imperfectly, like the one shown in your video. The top of the head, the sides and top of the neck always remain stuck on. But I raised a great baby, a rare gem. I sit with her wrapped around my arm and I gently mist the area with lukewarm water while stroking the dead skin. It just sits there, enjoying its spa day. It is not head shy and when it feels I have loosened a section of dead skin, it gently moves its body away while I hold the dead skin and it finishes the peeling for me. It's a collaborative process. Never has it tried to bite me. It knows the drill and I like to think it enjoys the procedure. We love our snake.
Me:
-has no snakes
-has no shedding issues with my current reptiles
Me: still loves watching this guy
go get a snake!!!!
The facebook groups are going to love this video lol
Which ones?
@@charlesbyrne3771 there is one in particular that has already been referenced in a couple of prior videos that is adamant that you should never soak a ball python.
@@ThePhantomofFilm I think I know which one you are talking about and I regularly argue with some because I get fed up with the misinformation. upon entering the ball python community there is a looooot of people with this elitist status they feel they have. even though I'm new and state obvious facts, they just rub their experience in my face. found a group with a breeder that keeps her heat mats sandwiched between the tubs and wood table. looking further into it she live feeds dangerously and when one got an RI she didn't quarantine. anything you say to even nicely help she'll snap at you and the mods will defend her because she has seniority. so many insane people dude, it's actually shocking.
@@ThePhantomofFilm what do they suggest to soften stuck shed

i find also making a "cave" in your hand with a wet washcloth will do great also. encourage them to stick their head through the little "cave" and when they crawl thru it will take the shed off. works well.
Me: doesn’t own a snake
Also me: I have to watch this video
You’ve been so helpful to me whose very new with ball pythons. My boyfriend bought me a desert ghost female because I kept talking about owning a ball python for so long, we bought her from someone on OfferUp who had her in a ten gallon tank fed her every four days and she honestly looked so crammed in that tank. She has some stuck shed around her nose area and I got concerned looked it up and your video was the first that popped up. I appreciate you and your care guide to these wonderful animals❤️
So happy my little girl always has nice full sheds. Only ever had one incomplete shed with her. She’s a very beautiful albino corn and I love getting those full white sheds
Great video! Very helpful advice and love the straightforward approach
I’ve had to help my boa constrictor with a few sheds, including stuck sheds on her head. It’s always fun trying to wrangle a 15lb snake who REALLY doesn’t want you touching their face lol.
I’ve found the best thing is doing warm soaks, and then having someone else help. Patience is key. It’s not a quick fix and you don’t wanna risk ripping their scales off.
Awesome vid, Alex!
Nat K
A warm wrung out wet pillowcase works well. Bout 15 min. They do the peeling themselves against the fabric.
I don't have a snake or any reptile but I still watch all of your videos !!!
Same i really want a reptile tho
@@ddnuts4025 yeah , I really want a dice snake but , there is no care info about them but I am content with my 2 cats and cockatiel 😀😀
Brutha! I found this video because our young corn snake had shed stuck on her head and it was blocking her eyes and nose/ airways. We noticed her "clicking" and that her eyes were discolored. She wasn't eating, either.
Your video instilled knowledge and confidence in my partner and I to give your method a try- and it worked! She instantly felt better, her airways were open, and she is clearly feeling better.
Huge thank you!
Thanks for the vid, even for a few years old, it was very helpful. I haven't had a snake in many years, my wife got me a Ball for Christmas. He ended up with mites and a severely stuck shed. Got the mites gone, and got his shed cleared up today. Never had to deal with one quite so bad before. You're right, a little stress up front is worth it, compared to a snake losing it's eyesight. It's less stress to help them, and my little Rafiki Nyoka actually helped me help him after he figured out what I was doing. Soaking alone wasn't doing it, and I was very reluctant to pull his shed off, but I think it was entirely justified, considering how happy he seems now. Just be very gentile! I've never had a snake let me handle his head in such a manner before, it was a unique experience.
I believe my snake has the same problem. I've never had to deal with mites or a stuck shed before. I've attempted to get rid of all the mites, but I believe she still has some and she shed is stuck at her neck do you have any advice of how I should get the shed off when she must have mites on her still? Any info is helpful!
@@Bumzigana I got some shed soak and soaked for 15-20 mins a day. Then i rubbed on the skin till it loosened, very, very gently. Mine ended up having a whole new shed under the stuck. I gripped the loose end and rubbed his belly till he pulled it off himself. As for the mites, I ended up using spray. I sprayed the cage down, all his stuff except water bowl, and I didn't wash the spray out like it was directed. I let it dry, then put him back in. No more mites. The brand I used was Miracle Care Reptile Spray. It's not the correct way to use it, but I was desperate, and it worked.
It was so satisfying when you pulled it off haha
Gotta savor the peelies
Wow. After watching your video I calmly pushed back Naia’s stuck shed over her eye caps and nostrils.... it took some time, and lots of squiggling around. Usually she would never ever let me get close to her head, but she somehow knew I was trying to help her get the annoying shed off and was a real trooper. Quite the adrenaline rush and ordeal for me, the 15 minute soak I think definitely helped but wow I was super worried after reading about retained eye caps :(. The weather is changing and I think I have to go back to her coconut fiber mulch mix substrate in addition to paper towels to hold in her humidity more because omg I do n o t want to do that to her again. That sucked for the both of us but was a total relief when it all came off. Jeez. Thanks for the assurance Alex!
Little tip: if you do use aspen, use a humidity box in the enclosure as well. Bedding other than aspen is difficult to get where I live, and a humidity box has worked fine for me, and my BP has shed completely every time.
I'll have to take that into consideration! May I ask how you made yours and how big it should be?
@@ccmmacaroon2696 Get a tupaware container that has a lid, make a hole in the lid big enough for the snake to fit through, fill the container with damp sphagnum moss and put it on the heated side of the tank when the snake is in blue.
Make it large enough for the snake to curl up in comfortably, or a bit larger if you want to.
Tip: Make sure the moss isn't dyed. My friend turned her BP green by not paying attention.
Such a helpful video! Took care of my snakes stuck shed super quickly this way.. Thanks!!
0:05 You know what isn't a poor substrate? Calci-sand.
Airdin only substrate I’ll use 🙌🏻 my animals living like kings 👑 my gargoyle geckos love their calcisand! I always see them making little castles and burying treasure. (Obvious sarcasm)
Game of Tanks this comment makes me think of an MLM that sells garbage reptile supplies
I use calcium sand for all my animals and i make them eat it to get them their daily food
as a satisfied customer I can approve that calci-sand is the best substrate! I even spoon feed it to my 2 year-old son and he loves it!!!
Some poor soul here is going to see this, and not understand the sarcasm... 😅
You're an absolute genius you saved my ball python she was having shed stuck that could've been deadly for her, thank you so much I liked and subscribed
If only you had uploaded this video in January, when I got my BP :P
I made the mistake of getting her at PetSmart. She had stuck shed on her head for quite a while after I got her, though it was a bit further forward on her head, in front of her eyes. Probably 2-3 layers of shed in the same spot... Even after finally getting it to come off her face was a little off looking until she went through several more sheds before it finally looked normal.
Great video
Love how Alex has a great combination between educational videos and stupid videos:)
A good alternative if you don’t want to “soak” your snake is to really warm damp a paper towel and put it in a small containment container with the snake. They will try to rub their face to get out and it will eventually get the shed off. Love the video though ❤️
Im glad you made this video, my hognose has stuck shed on his head and i didnt know what to do to get it off
Thanks for this video! I don't have a snake, but my leopard gecko, who's 13 years old, sometimes has some trouble getting the skin off of the top of his head. This technique works perfectly for him, with the only exception being that I need to be extra careful around his eyes.
Thank you! I did this just now successfully with my cornsnake. She had stuck shed on her shin and under/side of the neck. I couldn't find a bin at the dollar store so I got a microwave cover and a large chip bowl and used that. I used a thermometer from the first aid kit to measure the temperature.
I went to repticon Tampa today but am still not allowed to get one because the freak my mom out. However it’s ok because I can look at your videos, Thank You So So much!
Fellow Tampa, Floridian here! :3 My boyfriend and I were going to go to Repticon today, but we ended up not going because of the rain! Here is to hoping you had a great time, and that maybe your mom will let you get one eventually, lol!
I have a Ball Python who often has shed problems around his neck and head. Thank you for showing this, it will help.
sounds like you have a humidity issue...
Thank you so much! My Ball Python was stuck in shed just like the one in this video. I did what you demonstrated and it worked! Again thank you.
Love the educational way of you teaching about the shed. Great video!
thank you so much! My ball python had stuck shed on his head and stuck eye-caps and with your info, i was able to get them off!
I have had this problem a couple times with my snake, and she is very very good at letting me rub her head, my very good baby. Definitely gonna make some changes to better her shedding
ahhhhh it's always a good day when reptile boi posts new content
This is video quality is looking extra C R I S P
Thank you! I can’t wait to try. My snake has had some stuck shed on her head since her last shed ): I didn’t want to freak her out and figured she’d take care of it but alas she has not.
I honestly love your channel , im getting a ball python soon and ive been doing research on them your videos have helped me alot in understanding snakes and reptiles on general🙏🏽💯 thank Q !
I’ve had to do this a couple of times too. Mainly with new snakes still in quarantine that don’t have a humidity holding substrate yet
I would love more basic tutorials or even more advanced ones. :) I'm preparing to get get my own ball python and want to know as much information as possible to give them the best life I can. :D
Why are all your videos the best
thanks dude!! had these issues but glad you've shown an easy way to fix it.
Ayyy I was just wondering about this just the other day! My unspoken question hath been answered.
Extremely helpful! I just got a ball python and her first shed went horrible! Her entire head was stuck! Didn't care for it, but let me peel it off! Both eye caps came off and she instantly mellowed out! Hopefully we never have to do it again.
Tip- wet towel.
Soak a towel in warm water, wring it out some, place snake in towel for a couple of minutes, apply slight pressure and let snake slither through your hand in the towel. The roughness of the towel, along with warm humidity will peel that skin right off and there's less stress because the snake is in a dark place "hiding."
Note: always monitor your snake as you do this. You don't want to walk away and your snake slithers out of the towel and gets lost. :)
thanks. was wondering about this technique myself.. -if needed: can/ do you re-run it through the towel?
@@davidvalenta9394 yes. It doesn't hurt them at all, as long as you don't use the towel to "scrub" a snake like dirty dishes.
This method has worked for me on ball pythons and a Kenyan Sand Boa.
Thank you so much!!! This video help me with my hognose’s stuck shed, now she’s so much better! ❤
its 3 am and I don't own a snake
This helped out a lot! Thank you. The skin came right off and my ball python even seemed to be happier afterwards.

Hey! Ima sound super cringe but just wanted to sy I think it’s super cool that u do all this! The fact u share a company at such a young age (I’m only 13 myself) but it’s super cool! So thanks for all the info!! I hope to get a ball python and everything helps 🙃
When I first got my ball python he had a horrible shed from his previous home. I let him soak for about 10 minutes then wrapped him into the middle of a towel so he could rub it off himself. For the extra shed stuck on the head I just rub it with a damp towel and he is totally chill with it
hey Alex, how do you stay motivated to keep up with caring for so many animals? I struggle with just two lizards.
From what I know peoole usually take care of so many as a hobby. So if thats the case here he gets tons of joy over it and thats what keeps him motivated :)
@@ccmmacaroon2696 yes I keep mine as a hobby too, (just not so many) and I get tons of joy from owning them and taking care of them but i have issues with attentiveness, organization, forgetfulness and just staying motivated, and I'm sure everyone struggles with similar things from time to time, including Alex, so I was wondering if he had tips on keeping a schedule and such with his care.
@@reptilesrequired4239 this reply is super late but i feel like my response could be helpful. i have ADHD so i constantly struggle with the issues you described and i am familiar with how it feels to love caring for my pets, but my disorder makes it very difficult at times.
i only have 1 ball python right now but to help me stay on top of her care i write down important info like when she last ate, shed, pooped, etc so i don't lose track of time between feedings and i don't forget any important info. i keep that next to her enclosure so it's always in the same spot and easily accessible
to stay motivated i try to follow a lot of reptile related things on social media and youtube, that way these things are showing up on my feeds a lot and seeing them often makes me feel motivated and i am always learning new stuff. if you have executive dysfunction like me, it can be really hard to just get up and do a thing like cleaning/feeding, but reminding myself that this animal is completely dependent on me usually helps me get over that enough to force myself
it can also be helpful to leave reminders for yourself like on your phone, post it notes around your room or house, to just keep your pets and their care on your mind. i love my snake dearly but due to my ADHD i can easily get distracted by another hobby and she just isn't on my mind, especially since she doesn't do much beside sit in her hides, so simply being reminded often that this animal exists and is under my care can help me a lot
i hope this helps, even if you don't have ADHD. just don't feel guilty, i used to feel guilty a lot because of my struggles but it's better to put that energy into providing the best care you can :)
+avery !
Thank you so much for the tips! I really appreciate it and will definitely try them out. Ive been struggling a lot with my ADD in school recently, as well as keeping up with the care of my two lizards. Ive been trying to find ways to get out of this rut of being unmotivated and the suggestions you gave I’m sure will be very helpful. Thank you so much and good luck with your lil girl!💕
@@reptilesrequired4239 of course! good luck :) i know how hard it can be staying on top of this stuff especially if youre dealing with school too
something i forgot to add is that when you know you need to do a thing, but you feel really unmotivated, start with just getting yourself to stand up and walk to the enclosure. don't worry about the next step until you do that, just getting yourself moving without thinking of every single step at once can really help!
Thanks for the tip about the tape for the eyes. That really did the trick!
One of my ball pythons has had shedding problems since I got her and seems to get skin stuck by her nostrils/vents. Any advice for getting the shed out of those lil nooks?
This is the first video you’ve made I don’t agree with. The water for a ball python should never be above 85°. Ideal is between 80-85 but starting at 85 is good because the water will start to cool down. You can sit the tub on a heat pad to help keep the water warm. 85° feels almost cool to us so you MUST use a temp gun to check. You should always put a hand towel in the water with the snake so it can slither through and get most of the shed off itself, leaving minimal stuck shed for you to remove. This way you don’t have to stress the snake any more than absolutely necessary. It’s also helpful to put a large object in the water such as a rock or cup for the snake to wrap its tail on and ground itself, making it more comfortable while in the water. For beginners dealing with eyecaps in general is a bad idea. They often can’t tell the difference between eye creases and eye caps. We don’t want beginner keepers trying to peel eye creases off! The best thing to do is keep your husbandry correct because a healthy shed will take care of eye caps and eye creases. You probably should explain the difference before giving the tape advice, that could be incredibly dangerous. Can’t wait for more Rosie content!
yes they love your soft fingers and not the sharp tweezers. also i just realized i liked like 200 of your tweets just scrolling down my feed
My first snake had a bit of stuck shed on her nose and stuck eyecaps. After a soak, I had good luck with using one of those microfiber screen cleaning cloths and dipping it in warm water so it was damp. She is head-shy so I just gently rubbed at the stuck parts and they came right off. I gave her a break between eyecaps.
@GoHerping should do a video about what can stress out a snake!!
My snake had some shed issues with the tail this shed this really helped the shed came off in one this really helped
Omg i needed this so much my snake has stuck shed on her head so I got a humidifier to raise the humidity and it still hasn’t came off thank youyy
Thought the video was called how to cut off a snake's head, and I was confused, concerned, and intrigued all at once
Stuck shed really shouldn’t be common. I run a BP rescue and have never had the issue. If this is common for someone they need to fix their husbandry. Stuck shed on the tail is the equivalent of wearing the same ring from the time you’re a baby. It will cut off circulation.
Omg thank you my snake has 2 stuck eye caps because the previous owner had to low of humidity and I didnt know how to get them off. Thank you so much ❣🐍
Heve you tried it on monitor lizards or bearded dragons? (or any other reptiles shedding like them)

I've also used those rubber fingers that people use to flip through papers. Its rubber instead of metal so not as aggressive a method. I soak in bath and then use that if I notice any stuck shed.
My baby corn had an almost perfect shed. There was just a little stuck on her tail. I soaked her and tried peeling it off. She's so tiny and squirmy that I didn't want to hurt her so I left the smallest piece still on here in hopes the soak was good enough that she would rub against something and it would come off. I plan to give her a good soak before she sheds next time and maybe I'll even get a humid hide
This was very helpful _and_ educational, thank you!!
I have a humidity box that I wet regularily, and not one time have I ever had a problem with stuck shed on my ball python. I've never had to soak her, or worry about trying to get stuck shed off her. Nor has she ever had any dehydration issues or scale rot issues because the rest of her enclosure is too humid or the substrate is too moist.
When I first got my ball python, he had stuck shed on his head and neck. I increased the humidity in his viv and he got it all off himself overnight. I think it's worth letting the animal have a go first. I had some rough branches in his viv for him to rub past.
I also reccomend a soft bristle toothbrush to help loosen it.
Quality rhymes 1:21
I help my pythons when needed by soaking them in a container like you did for 10- 15 minutes. But I put them in a pillowcase I soaked over in the warm water, tie the end & place it in the bathtub. In about 5 minutes untie the pillowcase & let them come out. Stubborn skin gone & I didn't force anything.
I really want that python for some reason... not the most crazy looking or anything but something about his personality caught me... seems like a curious, chill little dude....will he/she be adoptable at one point, if so what is his/her name so I can check for it on your website? Thanks awesome video!
My ball python has stuck shed and it's now going on a week it's on only half of his head and covers part of his eye and it's impossible to get him to keep his head under water in the bin long enough. Also he is a baby and let's me touch his head fine and doesn't bite such a kind snake.
Ball pythons can be kept on aspen with no problems if you give them a humidity box!! I've had issues with scale rot keeping them on more tropical substrate. Yes they spend most of their time in humid termite mounds in the wild but the ground isn't wet in there. That's just my experience!
Also I find a slightly damp cloth is good for removing stuck shed especially for eye caps. Soft fingers over sharp tweezers though, I feel better with a towel though.
Great reptile channel, greetings from indonesian reptile lovers
I love ur videos I do the same thing for as soaking, except for removing the skin, after soaking I just put him back n his enclosure and he has lots of things to rub on in he get its off his self and I also use a wet towel on the top of my screen and its keeps perfect humidity the entire day.
Can you do a video on catching snakes not like wild ones, but like fast snakes that got out of other reptiles in general
Ps trying to catch an Egyptian racer is not fun
Ok so nothing to do with snakes but curious. Should I be concerned about egg compaction in my female beardie. She is on her 3rd clutch seemingly normal egg laying behaviors. Is egg compaction common is healthy females or just unhealthy beardies? I think I know the answer because my husbandry and diet is better than most but just thought I’d ask. Love your channel and of course I take my beardie to the vet if I feel there is a problem but thought I’d ask your perspective
Low key satisfying
When my pets are shedding and after their eyes clear the cloudy I use non scented baby wipes and stroke them with it they seem to enjoy it and they relax as I'm stroking them with it and the lanolin helps moisten the shed it does 2 purposes let's me handle them and also with the shed.

Question:
Can a bearded dragon have stuck shed on its head and should I use this video to get stuck shed off?
Nickplayz 109 yes it can, u should bath it and try to get it off
The one time I had this problem I just massaged stuck shed with wet fingers, then held onto it and let my snake pull it off on his own... man, I'm lucky my little Sammy is so chill 😅
Thanks man, helps a ton!
My corn snake lost the tip of her tail to stuck shed. Always always check your snake over every time they shed. I didn't know anything about humidity at the time, but I took her to the vet (she's fine, just a millimeter gone).
Snek come over like hello hooman I have a hat now.
I had to assist with my ball python shedding once, and after a while I think he realised what I was doing and he didn't mind it, once I got to the head he was fine, I guess to him it felt like a gentle massage when I was getting the head shed to start pealing.
Lets him to 200K 💙💙💙💙
A wet Q-tip/cotton swab might give you a bit more control when it comes to eye caps, or wiping off small stuck scales
ugh my bp is so bad at shedding XD She was doing fine when she was little but now.... I changed the substrade, keep the humidity extra high duing shed, she has a big water dish and a humid hide. Where does she shed? In the most dryest place she can possibly finde.
