[The Serpent Merchant]

Bringing up his humidity with a soak I see more gain than a loss IMO.
Some of my snakes soak themselves in their dish while in shed, I never have anything but a clean snake shed. Ive never heard of anyone making a big deal out of soaking a snake before a shed...I guess it has been a few months since on the forums...things must have changed.

yes but if they soak themselves then it is their choice. Providing a water dish large enough for them to soak is the best option IMO. Forcing a snake to soak can be a extremely stressful endeavor for a snake. While one that has been in ideal conditions may be able to handle this, one that has not might have a harder time.

He doesn't even look that dehydrated to me, mostly just in shed.
