This is Wipe Out

I doubt it would hurt the snake, seems to be pretty similar in composition to hand sanitizer. A good soak should work. Personally I would probably change the bedding if you sprayed a lot of it on there.

I agree that in regards to commercial shed aids, you don't need that stuff. A lot of companies are unscrupulous about marketing their unnecessary products, and uneducated staff at pet stores are just as bad when it comes to pushing those products.
