Then you have misunderstood. He is actually a large snake for his age. Not at the point of obesity, but well fed. eats a rat pup every week. The only old skin left remains on the very tip of his spine, and on one eye. I took him out, misted a towel and placed it in a 5 gallon bucket. then, i placed him in there and let him roam around on the towel. It worked, but there is a little skin left. I have kept the humidity at 70 for abbout an hour now, and hes back in. Its 90 degrees in the hide, and 82 degrees in the cool area with the water dish. in between there are some plants and foliage.
