Then with a damp paper towel or wet washcloth, just let the snake crawl through it while you wrap it around her. I do this when my snakes get funky smelling from eating rats and stuff except I don't use a tub, I just wet a paper towel and wrap it around them and pull it down them.

    Also once your snake comes out of blue, that is when you the humidity boost will really help. Try and keep it up around 70-80%. You can also move the water bowl over part of the heat for evaporation. Looks like you got the top covered with tin foil so that is good.
    As above as regards the soaking .. .. Afterwards I get a rough textured towel and soak the towel in warm water .. Then let the snake continuously slither through the towel in your hands whilst applying very gentle pressure , this method rarely fails .

    Presume you know that the snake's clear up and they get their normal colouration back and then there's a few days delay ( sometimes longer ) before they actually shed the skin ..
