Do not leave a snake in water unsupervised!

A better solution is a damp pillowcase. Dampen the pillowcase, drop the snake in, tie it up and stick it in the enclosure for a couple hours. this should dislodge a stuck shed.



Leaving a snake in a closed tupperware with water above the point where it can rest on the bottom is dangerous. A snake can tire and drown if left in water to swim when it does not want to. The soaking method is not bad, just make sure the water is super shallow, half the width of the snake, unless you watch it the entire time.
