Bad Shed stuck on Head

[KMG]

Humidity sucks in Chicago this time of year. Hard to keep my tanks above 40%. I use moss and a large water dish, but I'm just going to have to switch over to plastic tubs for a while.

I bathe mine in only 2 or 3 inches of water. They swim like crazy and never had an issue them keeping their heads underwater. My Lemon had eye caps stuck on and I had to use the towel method to get them off because she wouldn't eat.

I'm picking up 3 more babies soon, but before that I have to get my humidity issues together. Bathing/soaking them should be unnecessary.

I hope you don't leave them alone. They don't need the water that deep. Having it so deep they are required to swim to keep their head above water can exhaust them and they can drown.

They are not water snakes and I personally never place my snakes in water deep enough to swim in. I only have it deep enough to reach 1/2 to 3/4 up their side.
