Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I'm no expert, but I'm sure that you should never try and manually peel half-shed skin off.
What I do if there are raggy bits or a half shed not coming off properly is take the snake and gently immerse it in luke warm water for just a few minutes, then let it run through either my hands or a dampened rough towel. This usually brings off any remaining bits.
VERY important: DO NOT PULL. Let the snake move at it's own pace.
Pay particular attention to the head: I've had snakes shed the whole body but not manage to get the "spectacle" scales off the eyes. This can cause eye infection.
Of course it depends on your snake and whether it is calm when being handled. If you can't handle it well, I guess lots of misting and making sure there is as some roughened surface in the tank for it to snag the skin on is your only recourse.
Good luck!
