Question
my boyfriend is away for the weekend and his snake is shedding and usally it comes off in 1 or 2  pieces but we put him in a new tank last weekend and there isnt as much humidity as his last tank and i didnt know if thats why hes not shedding with the 1  or 2 pieces this time and i was wondering if he doesnt get it all off if i should take it off for him?

Answer
Hey Tiffany,

if you can get a clean  or new spray bottle and mist him/her with it 3-times a day and that should do it for you. if you want while he/she is wet from mist you can peel what comes off  
loosly in your fingers but dont force or peel it,

hope this helps thanks for the? let me know if you have any more.

                                       thanks
