A warm, wet washrag should remove it. Probably need to look at your humidity.

yeah, i know why it happened, i live in south florida and it's usually really hot and humid down here but it cooled down a little bit and the humidity droped here and i was buisy with work and school that i didnt realize so my fault i didnt change to keep up the humidity, the temps are good but the humidity made a terrable drop but i got it back up lastnight when i realized and soaked him and kept the humidity at like 85-90 and earlier he got it off himself without me doing it but thanks
it's just weird how my anaconda was fine his cage was good but my brb's droped like that
