No good deed goes unpunished...this is definitely an under statement because yesterday i got home at 5am and i went to check on my animals like i always do when i get home.

And I noticed that my baby female red tail was shedding however on saturday morning/friday night I fed her a mouse. (because some animals eat during shed some dont)

So what ended up happening while she was shedding she couldnt get the old skin past the lump in her stomach.

so i picked her up and gently took off most of the skin she had shedded up to that point.

i clearly dont hold this female enough because she still hisses at me so i need to step my game up before she gets big.

So she was alright at first and once i noticed i could just help her take the skin off by sliding it down i started doing that.

not even a minute into it and she tags me.I barely felt it and there was no blood because she kinda got my wrist bone and didnt hang on.

After that I just put her back down and let her do it her self lol...

No good deed goes unpunished...Obviously lol...some times spoiled kids just want to do things by their self.;P

what kind of snake was it?

i know the feeling. i tried helping my ball python "emily" with some shed skin she didnt get off once and my punishment for trying was a bite to the side of my face. not a fun experience
