I guess this is just a matter of opinion, but my snake has had nothing but perfect sheds and i never bothered to use that product.
If you read my first post, I never said it was required or needed. I simply said that I use it and it does have its place. I also stated that is is not the same as water, because its not. You can ask lots of breeders about snakes having bad sheds regardless of keeping good humidity. I also believe I have seen Adam post saying sometimes snakes have bad sheds regardless of humidity. I was just trying to let people know that read this thread that it is a useful tool in the care of snakes. No where did I state it was a must. I have seen snakes kept with adequate humidity have bad sheds, so it is not just humidity related. I have also recommended to people with snakes that have had bad sheds with nothing but positive experiences. :)

I have a personal theory that some ball pythons have "thinner" sheds than others (from birth, many of my hypos seem to have had thinner sheds in general) and that thinner shedders are usually poorer shedders than thicker shedders.

I use Vita-Spray not for vitamin enrichment, but because it improves the appearance of the skin.
On my younger animals it has definitely improved the quality of the shed.
