Talking Boid Keeper Saves the Day!

For about two years my freinds room mate has had a bp, and recently decided to sell it. the main porpuse for the snake was to get chicks, 'cause all bad boys have snakes! so he tells me to post a thread selling him for sixty. A little high from what i knew at the time. It getts better............

So i was over there this weekend and to my amazement the snake was eating, AND was in shed, as in currently shedding....NOW, an two weeks ago!!!! So the two hours i spent at his house i was picking the skin off of the snake, doring wotch i noticed a scale infection. well at about 11:00 pm i had to go home, and i was upo to the last few inches around his neck and head ( i was working backwards), wich were EXTREMELY STUCK. so i convinced him that the snake was not worth the fifteen dollar discount he offered me, and that i could give him twenty now, and some later. afterwards i had to convince my parents, agreed to the situation. Last night i used Boid Keeper's method on how to remove a stuck shed, and removed the last few inches, and the three sets of eye caps on each eye!

The only prob i have now, besides the minor infection is to switch from ft mice to rats (wich i was told he HAS taken rats, but live) and what to name him assuming its a he.......so ANY SUGGESTIONS. im not worried about the scaale infection, my female has had it before and i have all the meds on hand.

sorry for the long post just wanted to give testimony.
thanx
-Jacob

Well thanks for the kind words but like most of the advice I peddle, it wasn't my idea! The idea was given to me by a fellow herper and site member Dave G. Got to give credit where credit is due.
Cheers,
Trevor
