If you are providing advice doing so to someone that has not been own in 6 years makes little sense.
If you seek advice than I suggest you create your own thread so you get more views as people very rarely revisit old thread that are no longer relevant since the OP has not participated in years.
Now sound advice are always appreciated but putting mineral oil on a snake is not one of them, it's not a good idea it will loosen up scales and the scales will start falling off.
When you have stuck shed a simple warm damp wash cloth to rub the stuck shed of is all that is necessary.
