Very easy to fix.At the grocery store they sell " Glad " disposable microwave tupperware--it comes in 3 packs and 5 packs--around $2.50- cut a hole in the blue top just big enough for snake to get in -i use 2 moistened paper towels inside-you will see your snake will spend a lot of time in it --soon you will have perfect sheds--this method is known as a "humid hide"--good luck-Brian

you can also try "spaghnum moss "--soak it and wring it out and place in "humid hide "--make sure it stays moist though ; because it will become dusty if it dries out-i get it by the brick from blackforest.com--good luck
