I can see it working if it's done after the eyes clear and colour returns ..and before it actually sheds .
I've never had a Royal python that would ever choose to soak in a water bowl .. most of my other types did on occasion though .
Regular misting ... then daily misting when they go into shed and then as soon as the eyes clear I start spraying two or three times daily until they actually shed the skin .. works 100%
