To get the rest of your boas shed off you can wet a bath towel and then ring it out really good, then put your boa in the towel, wrap it up a little and let him/her sort of work it's way gently through the it ---- is it's whole head completely covered?

Not too long --just enough for the moisture to help release the skin. 30 -45 minutes...
