My Dumeril shed a few days ago but it's skin did not come off in one piece. There are still quite a few patches of old skin on his body. What's the easiest way to get them off? Should I soak him first in water? If yes, then at what temperature should the water be and for how long? Any other methods for removing unshed skin?



Thanks.
