Carpetsnake, you didnt do something stupid like get impatient and decide to peel the skin off yourself?? No snake should ever be sticky/oily after a shed. They will look oily, but should be dry to touch. I think the new skin has come off with the old, and that is not good!! Snakes have died from premature shedding.
