Then just place your snake inside, twist it close on the top, and place him in a plastic Rubbermaid box. Place the box in the viv and leave him there for two hours. Just make sure the box is not located under a heat light and remember to set a timer so you don't get distracted and forget about him. The wet sack will moisturize his skin and the action of moving around the sack will rub off most (if not all) of his stuck shed.

    Good luck!
    Good advice bro!
