    Take a small tub put about an inch of water in the bottom put about 4-5 paper towel ontop of the water put the snake in the tub put the tub over the hot spot let sit 45-1 hour remove tub rub snake with wet paper towel gently over stuck shed repeat once a day until gone.

    if hes head shy and you dont want to rub his head and face get a pillow case soak it in luke warm water and put it on the hot spot.. make sure you tie it off so he doesnt just come out of it..

    was suggested to me by another member on here and worked perfect.. only problem is i had a pillow case full of soggy skin flakes lol

    You might want to take a hand towel and wet it with warm water then put it over his warm hide so that it drags over the entry way. Then spray down the aq. or the bin. The hand towel helps to up the humidity as well as gives them something to rub on.
