When I first acquired Anubis (my normal male), he went into shed a few days later. I knew right away that it was going to be a difficult shed. It began coming off in pieces and strips. So, on the advice of my breeder friend, I got a plastic tub and filled it with about an inch or two of lukewarm water. I then soaked Anubis for fifteen minutes, fully supervised. I panicked every time his head went under the water, so I kept pulling him back up and rubbing his head gently. After I soaked him, I was told to take a warm, damp towel and wrap him up in it, allow him to sit for another five minutes and then encourage him to slip and slide through my hands while I used the towel against his skin. Like a charm it came right off, no problems at all. Even his spectacles came off cleanly. So that is now what I do with all of mine, even my Corns.
