i've read lots of posts about people pulling off shed and taking off good scales with it, so all i'm saying is to be careful.
carefulness is a good thing, lol. I've never pulled any good scales off my snakes when helping them shed. I leave them to soak for a good 30 min to a hour before I start trying to get the skin off. Its hard peeling a squirmy snake that doesn't want you peeling them! lol I try to make it as quick as possible.
