  1. It can take up to 2 weeks for the shedding to be complete . . .you are doing the right things . . .increase humidity, soak in shallow water or spray with lukewarm, make sure there are rocks and tree limbs around to rub against. . .your snake may not eat during this time but don't worry, won't hurt him . . .seek advice from a reptile vet . . .he may help.


  2. before it shed you should give your snake a big bowl of water big enough for him to soak alll his body in it.you can also as you do spray his tank every day before shedding twice a day with water. ( the spray bottle should have never contain chemical product.)that's what i do and it works.

    if there is skin left after shedding you can use a humid pillow case and let your snake crawl in it.for about 15 minuts is old skin should all come off.you can go watch that video about shedding problems on that wedsite:

    good luck with the next shed of your corn!

  3. It would be nice to know what kind of snake you have, but for most snakes having a bad shed a 20 minute soak in warm water usually gets the rest of the skin off. Shedding spray is a waste of money.
