Ok. So, I think what happened here is that you got a snake second hand, but he had some stuck shed on his tail. You tried soaking him, but that didn't help. His tail started bleeding, so you tried soaking him more. Then the tail stub fell off and he bled more. You used Quik stop to stop the bleeding. Is this correct?

Well, I can tell you that his tail will not grow back. Snakes don't regenerate like some lizards do. I'm glad you stopped the bleeding. You probably saved his life if he was bleeding as bad as it sounds. The one thing I can't figure out is, why did he bleed before his tail dropped? Maybe it wasn't ready to fall off? Usually when a reptile sheds and the skin stays on, it constricts around the limb until the blood flow is cut off. The limb dies and will eventually fall off without bleeding. I am a little puzzled.

the soaking could have prevented it from "dying off" and loosened the skin enough to allow blood to go back in but the remainder was so far gone it was already falling off, or it may have pulled off a little too soon causing the bleeding, could be many things, i've never had the issue so not sure, just trying to go thru what else it could have been.

I don't know. Was it? Please clarify your original post. Maybe you can use some punctuation.

if the humidity was right you would not have to soak it. i dont understand why it was bleeding, sounds more like an injury than just simple stuck shed...
