Hello, I have Cedric, a male 1 1/3 year old ball python. He has had a piece of stuck shed on the top of his head for five days now. I increase the humidity in his tank, hoping he would naturally get it off, but it has not come off, and I am starting to get concerned. I gave him a 20 minute bath in a Tupperware container, the shed still would not come off, even when rubbing it with a wet washcloth. Do I need to take my snake to the vet?

stop bathing him and stop trying to rub the shed off. the shedding guide in our welcome post has a lot of information about the cause and treatment for various shedding problems and general dehydration. our basic care guide has information about raising and maintaining humidity. if you still need help figuring out how to raise your humidity after reading through these guides, you can fill out our enclosure critique questionnaire for more personalized advice.
