Highlighted Reviews

— Jo

"I'd originally thought that it would be gimmicky, but my ball python has struggled with stuck shed. NERD had used it for one of their snakes, and it seemed to do the trick. I tried it myself, and it helped to loosen the shed, where multiple baths had not. I stand behind this product."

— amber

"Didn't work for my Mexican black kingsnake. She has had a stuck shed over her left eye for some time. I've been soaking her in plain water hoping that would help and when it didn't, I ordered some of this hoping for some better luck. I've used the entire container and the shed is still stuck."
