Jojo had a patch of skin when he first shed. Maybe he was not "experienced" enough to make a clean shed. But i put him in a rubbermaid box with some warm water about an inch deep and that seemed to help him out. I didnt bother removing the patches of skin he got rid of them with his next shed. If you BP is young just make sure if he does have a patch of old skin left on him i say leave it on UNLESS IT COULD CAUSE CIRCULATION PROBLEMS like in the tail or if the patch of skin wraps around a portion of his body then in this case soaking him in warm water for about 30 minutes does wonders.
