    JUST MY OPINION!


    Soaking for 45-60 minutes is way to long, 10-15 minutes max will normally loosing the bad shed enought to peel it off. and you may need to soak alittle more to complete the job. after about 10 minutes the water cools down and then you will need to learn to treat URI.

    In the winter with all the heat required to keep these guys healthy we all encounter less than ideal humidity levels and have to soak them now and then, this is how I do it and Im sure Christies way works for her.

    Christie I have to say that is a very pretty snake you used there. Very informative and nice to look at. You can never have too many husbandry tips, Thanks.

    That's why it's important to keep the water in a warm environment, specifically the cage (which even on the cool side should remain 80 degrees). I've only had to soak a handful of times, and I've never encountered an RI.

    Re: Bad shed? No problem.

    Great job Christie!!! .... That's exactly what I do here for problem shedders!!!

    JUST MY OPINION.

    I've been soaking ball pythons in tepid water, in their enclosures, 45-60 minutes at most, for over a decade and have never gotten a URI that way. The key is to make sure the tub of water doesn't sit out in a cold room ... that will chill the snake. I put my "soaking tubs" back in the rack (or cage) just like Christie ... works perfect, every time!!!

    JUST MY OPINION ... well, more like my personal experience I guess ... whatever ... it's all good!

    I agree. I've treated numerous stuck sheds with a slightly different method (placing the snake in a warm, wet pillowcase), but I always keep them in their rack where it's nice and toasty. I've kept some of them in there for over an hour without worry.

    The point I was trying to make was that when left in water and it can cool down, that can cause problems letting a snake sit in cold water for an hour. the original poster never said anything about putting the soaking snake in a heated cage. A heated cage would keep the temps from getting cold. and thats my opinion!
