some say provide a humid hide box so the snake can hang out in that and it will help the shedding. personally i just mist my snakes or hold them under a faucet to get them wet, esp when they start to clear up. I did this with my jungle carpet python and her last shed was perfect. I tried the humid box once and she would not go in it. I do mist down their tanks too but have gotten better result with misting the snake its self.
