Wow old thread revived. I looked back on my post.....just to let you know now I house all my snakes in bins except for a milk snake. I can tell you we have since switched over to paper towels and I LOVE IT!!! So super clean and easy to throw out...disenfect the aq. or the bin and lay down more. When you see your snake go blue or a pink belly you can add a damp washcloth over the warm hide. This should take care of all of your shedding problems. Works like a charm.
