my young black rat snake just shed his skin, but the last time he did there was the tiniest bit left at the tip of his tail. i bathed him, rubbed it gently with a towel, to the point where i thought i had it, but then the same thing happened today. only this time when i wet it and rubbed it, the smallest part of his tail came with it. there was very little (and i mean very little) blood, but there is what looks to be a small amount of the tail bone showing. ive been keeping snakes for years and this has never happened before, i will obviously take him to the vet, but i was wondering if anyone else has had this happen, and how dangerous is this for him? i feel awful
