    I gave my snake a bath for a bit.. then used the towel to dry it.. when it was moving through the towel it came right off.

    Im sure they are other ways.

    Had to do that once for my boa. I let her soak for about 30 minutes then placed a warm wet washcloth around her head and when she would back her head out, I would apply just a little pressure to allow the skin to roll back. Ended up getting it all off in two pieces. Make sure you see the eyecaps off.

    That happened to be the first shed after I got her. She's had full sheds since.

    I've heard of several ways...including just soaking in warm water for a while...to get off un-sheded eyecaps. Gently rub a little baby oil on it, use scotch tape and just stick a little to the eye cap and carefully peel it off, raise your humidity and see if your bp will do the rest on their own...The most common and highly reccomended though was to just leave it alone. It should come off in the next shed, and you won't risk hurting your bp
