Hey,
It's pretty simple, just put a large bath towel that has been soaked in warm water (obviously the water will cool), and leave it in with the snake over night. Most if not all of the remaining shed should come off over night, and any left over piece can be removed by hand. Works everytime. For smaller bloods or stp's, leave a small towel in with the snake, like a small hand towel. (Wet of course).

Yup, damp towel works great. Last time my blood shed she was crawling all over but it wasn't coming off, so I put in a towel and I looked in 20 minutes later and it was all off in one piece. -chris-
