FYI warning small biology lesion
Part of the process of shedding is the secretion of a slippery liquid between the layers of old and new skin this helps hydrate the old skin and allow the new skin to slip off with greater ease. Soaking before the shed cycle is complete can rinse out some of the fluid the snake needs to complete a shed and that can actually make things worse. I'd not soak during a shed cycle unless there is an important reason for it that is more concerning than a poor shed. (badly dehydrated rescue for example)
