Just make a "shedbox" (very similar to the nestbox described in the Cornsnake Manual, but smaller). Just cut an entrance hole in a cottage cheese container. Fill 3/4 full with damp (but not dripping wet) sphagnum moss, and put it in the cage. Once your snake hangs out in it for a day or two (they usually LOVE to spend a lot of time there), the skin will probably come off by itself, or will be very easy to remove. Give the snake the shedbox whenever his eyes go "blue" and take it away after he sheds. Replace the moss each time. That way you will avoid a damp place where mold, bacteria, etc, can grow unchecked in the cage. You can use damp paper towels if you can't find the moss (look in a garden store, even in Wal Mart garden centers), but they are not as fluffy for him to crawl through, and tend to make a soggy mess.



If the humidity inside your house is higher in the summer, then the shedbox probably will not be needed then.



Good luck!
