Congrats on the new snake!

Can you describe your husbandry? Temps? Humidity?
And I highly recommend reading the care sheets here.

A few tips I'd like to suggest is to never use tape or sticky adhesive in the enclosure. Situation like yours are the exact reason why not to use them. The snake could get stuck or badly injure himself. Glad he was ok this time.

What kind of thermometer were you using? If its the sticky dial kind, I suggest just throwing those away and getting a digital one($12 at walmart). The sticky dials are never accurate.

Also, giving a bath prior to shedding is actually bad. It strips the natural oils of the snake that assist shedding. So if your snake is shedding in many pieces rather than one whole piece, that's typically not normal. If a snake is having a bad shed, giving a bath then is more appropriate. But there are less stressful ways to assist a bad shed. For example, you can put him in a warm damp pillow case for an hour. The friction of moving around in the pillow case will rub the shed off.

Again, Congrats on the new snake and welcome to the forum!
