Im A Bit Concerned....

So, my BP shed almost 2 weeks ago but there was a small part on its head that didn't seem to come off. I didn't think much of it and expected it to come off eventually but it's still there. I'm not sure whether its dead skin or what. At times it looks like mini blisters. I'm going to take a picture and post it so hopefully somebody can tell me what the heck is going on.

If it didn't get all the shed off, put him in a wet towel in a pillow case for a few hours. This will moisten everything up and work off the shed in a gentle way.

Re: Im A Bit Concerned....

Just make sure you put the pillow case somewhere warm!

You can also try to give it a nice long soak and then let it slither through a damp towel on your lap so you are gently rubbing at it.
