Should I soak him? or let him be.

[Soterios]

Make sure the water is aroun 85*F. Don't want it to be too hot. After he has been in the pillow case for around 15-30min, open the pillow case and make him crawl through your fingers, applying a little bit of pressure to try and ease the shed off as he is coming out of the pillow case.

I've soaked and peeled my snakes before. Any reason you prefer the pillow case? Less risk of drowning I assume?
