    Every time you bath or soak a snake you are washing away the oils that help them shed.

    Make a humid hide for him. It'll fix his issue now and going forward you won't need a humidifier.
    It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
    It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

    Thank you so much! I did just that, by putting a bunch of damp paper towel balls inside of his hot hide (The one he prefers) and he is already showing more skin coming off the middle of his body. The rest of his body still isn't showing any shed though, but I am sure that given until tomorrow, his whole body will start shedding. The problem though, is that his eyes and head (Except for the nose) is still covered in shed, and not seeming to improve. Is time all he needs? He hasn't eaten for two weeks (Because of the shed going on for 1 week), so I am hoping he can finish soon so that I can feed him. He is just a baby!
