    A few weeks ago I posted a forum because my snow wcorn hatchling, chloe, had a hard time shedding and her tail tip was very red after the skin came off it.
    well guys, it's official, after soaking chloe's tail tip today and giving it a little rub, her tail tip came off. I am really kinda sad about it, but I was expecting it as the redness never went away and the red tip was getting really hard. I measured the tip that came off and it is about three millimeters long. The new "tip" seems pretty good, there is very little redness, although it might be a little raw as the scale dont seem to be developed much there. Any suggestions on what to do? Should I get some anti bacterial stuff for it just in case so it doesnt get infected?
