Shed Question

[Bogertophis]

Appreciate all the responses since this is my 1st time dealing with this. I tried the towel technique for a couple of minutes while my snake continuously tried to escape. I didn't have too much success although I'm willing to keep trying. What about allowing him to soak in a tub for a good 15-20 or do you think his head will be above water too much to do any good?

That's why he needs a very damp towel over his head...no point soaking his body, he won't submerge his head.
This probably won't be the first time you'll need to help a snake shed, so no time like the present to learn to keep him quiet & cooperating to finish what he started.

Be gentle & persistent, but win the battle of the shed... One reason the old skin often sticks on their heads is that the scales are smaller. Be sure to check the chin-
that's a common place where it sticks & it's hard to get off, even with our help.
