    Get a pillowcase. Dampen it with warm water. Stick the snake in pillowcase. Tie off pillow case and let snakes "move around" in there for a little while.

    I like to use a hide with damp(not soaked) moss amd put it in the warm side so he stays in it for a day or more and increase humidity. What can also be helpful is unscented lotion I've used it on a rescue with a retained eyecap and it worked great!

    Make a shed box. Just take like an old vivarium, 10 gal or something, and fill it up 1/3 of warm soaked paper towels. Let him move around in that for awhile and you should be ok. It's worked every time ive used it.
