    Small damp pillow case at a comfortable room temp. Put the snake in and let it crawl around for a while. Make sure it's not so wet that the animal can't breathe.

    There's tonnes you can do, luckily! As Slim mentioned the pillow case trick, or you can use damp paper towel and have them slide through your fingers. You can also do what's called soaking or bathing, where you put them in a tub of air temp water - shallow, just enough so they can rest on the bottom without breathing. So essentially very little water. Some corns really don't like this though.
    You can also introduce a shed hide/box, which is a plastic container with a hole cut out and damp sphagnum moss placed inside.
    There is also shed-aid products available. I have not tried these, so I do not have a brand to recommend but you can search through some other threads using the search tool bar to find them (or if someone replies with a brand name).

    Best of luck!

    When you post a thread, please put as much info in the question as possible! Otherwise people kind of pass it by, because they end up having to do the work and wait around for replies to their answers. It's a good idea to include very detailed descriptions when you have questions, as best to your ability.

    For common things like shed problems, you can also try using the search tool bar because there are LOTS of threads out there already with the same question and the same answers.

    It's not that no one wants to help you if you don't get replies, but sometimes people don't want to keep repeating the same thing over, you know?

    And please don't start more than one thread about the same subject. It's a bit like crying wolf.
