    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

My ball python is having a poor, or incomplete shed. The last time i saw she had a bad shed there was skin left on her head and neck. I was going to get a small rat to stretch the skin to get it off while she was eating and so she eats and doesnt have another bad shed. But the day i was going to get the rat i noticed her eyes were blue again. So i had to let her complete, but now, she still hasnt finished, its been a couple weeks, and there are TWO (2) layers of skin on her head and neck now. How do i get it off so she can eat?!?!?!?!?!? She NEEDS to eat so i need a quick and effective way to do that. If not quick, something that will work so she can at least eat then i can get the skin off. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! :shrug01:
 
Sterilite tub with locking lid
1 to 1 1/2 inches of 85 degree water
Hand towel in water in tub with a branch or even a half log hide(best use ever for one)
soak for 30 minutes replenish water with more 85 degree water
soak 30 more minutes and the shed should slide right off or easily be rubbed off with a damp towel.
