My King snake started shedding, his eye's capped and his head came out but it seems like he was stuck in the rest of the skin. I soaked him in water, dampened paper towels, put them in the tank, and sprayed water on the sides of the tank to pick up the humidity. Now he is circling the tank, skin is coming off but in little pieces. It seems like it'll take him a couple of days to fully shed. I feel like peeling the rest off for him lol Any suggestions?

Hey man thanks, but I got him to shed. I got a tiny tupperware container, made a hole in it, put damp paper towels inside, and placed it by the warm side of the tank. 2 hours later I pulled him out of the container, he started circling the tank and his skin just came off in like 5 min. He needed the humidity. So for now on when he's about to shed I'll keep a humidity container in the tank during that time. Thanks again
