Good afternoon members.
I have just in the last two days gotten a 4 month old Carpet Python and it has mostly shed but there are still bits around its tail that haven't properly shed.
I tried to put it in some water (only a few ml deep and warmish water) to help soak its skin as I heard it helps but the snake being very young and new to my residence seemed quite scared and tagged me twice so I put it back into it's cage and have left it alone. I don't want to stress the snake out as he is young, new and I want to handle him in the future so I am wondering what I should do?
Should I just leave him for now and if so, how long should I leave him before I need to do something to resolve the issue?
I know putting a water bowl in the cage helps as it raises the humidity and I have done this but so far the cage in the cool section hasn't got above 28 Degrees Celsius so I am unsure what else to do?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
