shedding

[or1olesfan]

my snake is about to shed. one of the scales is already off on his head, and his color's are really faded. his tail almost looks anery (he's a classic).

anyways, is there anything i can/ should do to help him shed, or does he do it all on his own? i read somewhere that its good to let them go swimming in your bath tub when they are about to shed? please, let me know what you guys think

If the humidity levels in the viv are ok, you probably don't need to do anything.

Some people will mist the viv daily when their snake is in blue to aid in shedding.

I use a humid hide for my snakes. They all some to like it and know exactly what do to when I put it in the viv with them.

yeah i put a small box with wet paper towels in there as a moist hide. im not sure what the humidity levels are inside the tank, but he really seems to like the moist paper towel hide

That should be enough for Twister to have a good shed.
