Need some quick advice on shed

[Maloof]

Hey, my corn just had a fairly bad shed for some reason. He left most of the shed below his vent, which is a fair amount. I'm going to follow Nanci's instructions on shed removal (filling a tub with water and a cloth and letting the snake sit in it for around 20 minutes) but I have a problem.

Today is Tuesday, and I fed him Sunday. I normally wait until Wednesday to handle him or do anything, but I was wondering if it would be OK to do this bath today or if he might regurge? I really don't think he would regurge because its been a couple days and theres no visible lump in him so I think he's done digesting but I'm a little worried. Can you guys help me please?

Just don't man handle him and there will be nothing to worry about.

will be fine aslong as you keep your snake calm and try not to handle it much

Go a head and wait until tomorrow to bathe him.......the bath may stress him out causing a regurge. Leaving the old shed on him one more day won't hurt the little guym but a regurge could! Better safe then sorry!

I think waiting another day for the bath would be a good idea. Best of luck getting that old shed off!

Usually if there is no visible lump, your OK. Waiting another day, wouldn't hurt. Also, if you happen to notice that your snake is in shed, waiting to feed until the skin is completely sloughed, would be better. I have an blizzard that gives no sign of being in the blue, so I started keeping a shed journal on him, so I have an idea on when to expect it.

Good luck,
