Since you leave your snake alone for 2 days after feeding you will not have a problem since the smell will be gone by the time you handle them. You have a low humidity problem and that is why you have the bad sheds. Raise the humidity and you won't need any thing else to improve the shedding problems. Make sure the humidiity goest up to 60% two or three times a day. Het a humidity meter to be sure.
