Otherwise, if you are trying to get the stuck shed off, soaking them in warm water will do the trick. I soak mine for about 15 minutes, with a hand towel, then run the wet hand towel down your snake, the shed should come off that way.
    I totally agree with nixing the shed aid (used it over a decade ago but not since)- homeopathic oils are not needed for the toughest sheds. Soaking is where it is at if your snakes shedding is imperfect. Walmart has a plethora of inexpensive tubs with locking lids for snakes neonate to 14 burm sized.
