My baby albino burm just had a dry shed....i gave it a few baths and made the humidity in the tank really high to see if maybe the skin would come off....after a few days of trying this it still had some of its dry skin on it...so i put in a container with moist towels for about 6 hours....most of his skin came off but some of it is still on the snake...and now it is turning a reddish brownish color....can anyone help? thanks

Been a LONG time since I had burmese pythons ('twas in my teens) - but I remember we always let ours sit in the bathtub in lukewarm water for hours when they were getting ready to shed.
Next time a shed is coming, try that - and see if it sheds better.
