Leave him in there for about 10-15 minutes. What didnt come off try again later that day or the next day.

    is there a certain temperature that works best or worst? i have poor judgement on what warm and cold is because what it think is hot is cold to my girlfriend and brother

    Keep in mind that your BP is a cold blooded animal. If something feels warm to you, it will feel hot to your snake. The ideal temp for water in a soaking tub would be about 80 degrees.

    Looks like that shed is pretty loose, should come off easily with a good soak as directed in that linked thread.

    Just go with room temperature. You don't want it to feel like bathwater or a hot tub, or an outdoor pool in December. It's okay for it to feel cool to the touch.

    also is it common for him to rub his nose across the plastic while he is inside the holding carrier?

    That's probably just him trying to get the shed off. Once it comes off, he should stop doing that.
