The best thing to do is let your snake soak in your tub filled with warm water. I let each snake soak for 15 to 20 min.

When I see that they are going to shed or already start, I do use the rubber made containers and put a wet paper towl in there, do not make it how to cold, just right and then put them in it and then but the heat light over them when I put the container back in the cage, and it works like a charm, sock skin all the time. And If I am late and they shed part off I still do that to get the loose peices, I found this to work good because they use the paper towl to just let it slide off. As stated above soaking works to.
