Default Repti Shedding Aid

I just thought I would give this product (zoo med I think) a thumbs up - yes I know that there are lots of free/cheap ways of aiding shed, but I had a racer who would not shed - 80% humidity in viv, moss box, baths every day for a week. Her skin was dry as a bone - already lost the tip of her tail (before I got her) which looks like from dry shed.

Used this product liberally with a good massage and eventually got the shed off - the bottom half rolled off in one piece in the end. Inspected the shed of the tail and there were FIVE layers! This was the first time she'd shed for me (had her 2 months) and obviously the previous 5 times were not successful on the tail... looks sooo much better already.

It also says it can be safely sprayed directly onto the eyes to remove eye caps.

I wasn't expecting it to work but was seriously impressed
