It really doesn't matter if you wipe them off or not when you take them out of the water. I personally don't. And when you feel your animal/s are about to shed just raise the humidity in your enclosure by misting it with water. Just keep in mind if the shed comes off in lots of bits and pieces this means the humidity isn't high enough. It should slough off in one piece, but sometimes the snake tears it apart from rubbing on things to get it off. Good luck!
