Question about shedding

[Knytemare]

So recently its been getting quite hot here so the air has been on and it has lowerd the humitity levels in my tubs, well i only have 2 snakes, but my new baby pastel is going through shed and is having a hard time. i had cypress mulch for bedding and i been misting, it seems to come off a lil but im kinda thinking of filling a spare tub with warm/house temp water and let it come off quicker. What do you all think?

If she's having a tough shed try soaking her in water for about 20 minutes.

thats what im thinking, cause i been patient giving him time, but i think its been about a week so im thinking about assisting him with soaking to help with the shed

[Skittles1101]

Well is the shed coming off in pieces or has he not started shedding yet? A soak won't do any harm either way...

Soaking after the shed cycle is over and it has not completed (bits off some on) helps out.

Soaking before the shed is complete cam make it worse. Between the old and new skin is a layer of slimly liquid that helps lubricate the removal soaking before the shed is finished removes this liquid and can make things worse.
