Question shedding problem, need help

I need advice for a shedding problem. :bugged:

I have a boa who is shedding for the first time since I got him. He is about 5 ft and is either a Cooks tree boa or an Amazon tree boa. He is shedding very patchy.

I have a humidity hide available for him and have locked him several times since he started shedding on 11/29. The hide is 100% humidty I think as with the lid fastened there is considerable condensation. I have also gently pulled off some bits that would come off.

There are still some areas that have not shed.

I would like advice on how to get the rest of the shed off.

Would soaking him help more than being in the humidity hide?

I have seen something in a pet store to put on a snake (Don't remember just what) to help the snake shed. Any experience with this?

Anything else?

thanks in advance for help,

Jean
