    Re: my pastel shed

    Well you could use the Towel in a pillow case trick. Put a warm damp (not wet) towel and a pillow case. Put the snake in the pillow case and tie it shut. Put the pillow case w/snake in his inclosure and let him crawl around for half an hour or so. He should rub it all off while trying to get out works great when I have tried it hope it helps

    My pastels first shed (with me) was also a problem. I just put a little water in the bathtub and let him swim for a few minutes and the next time i saw him all the stuck shed was gone.

    I use a damp hand towel or wash cloth and let mine crawl through the cloth over and over again til it's loose enough for them to get it off. It only happens to my Sand Boa. I have a hard time with the humidity in his tank. My BP's are in tubs. They haven't had a bad shed yet. The tubs hold humidity so much better.
