Wet your fingers and his tail and gently rub at the skin until it comes off. Don't pull on it, just let it run through your fingers until it loosens. If it stays there long term it can apparently cut off circulation as he grows so you really do want to get it off. Always check for spectacles and the end of the tail when your snakes shed.

Spectacles as in the scale which covers the eye lol. I like to always make sure it came off properly when they've shed  |

Many years ago i was watering plants in a diamond avairy and the water was running down the broad leaf of a bird nest fern. A diamond came along and crawled up the leaf a bit and then opened it's mouth about 1cm wide. The water was running (quite rapidly)straight down the leaf and into the diamonds mouth and it just sat there swallowing it!!
I've also seen them submerge their heads completely while drinking.

Yea my assumption is that bredli dont see much water in there natural habitat and therefore dont need to drink so much
