So if is snake is possably impacted then soaking his snake is a good idea right? It was recommended to soak his snake to relieve the snake of impaction right? You basically piped in to say that it has been "said" that soaking an animal is bad for them while in shed. The recommendations that were given are proven remedies to help with problems stated by the OP. We don't want to confuse people here do we?
The first time my first ball python was going in to shed, I decided to soak her, the shed went horribly.
I think what Kaorte is trying to say is, after the shed process, you can soak if there is some stuck shed.. That's all..
