I'm taking care of my sisters diamond carpet python, Dexter, while she is in the hospital. His last shed was really bad. To help him out, I soaked him in warm water and I also rubbed him gently with mineral oil. At 4 years old, he hasn't been handled much at all prior to my sister buying him. He's not aggressive, just awkward, squirmy, and puffy. He's 6 ft long and pretty fast. During his "bath", he was not happy and flung himself everywhere, all while his scales came off individually. I added some moss to his enclosure and left him in a damp bag overnight, and his skin is starting to improve. Meanwhile, my bathroom and everything in it is covered in scales. They are sticky and they are everywhere! How do I go about dealing with this mess?
