My Ball Python Pooped Itself

[yukina_blizzard]

I have a 5 month old Ball Python and he took a massive dump in his enclosure. I picked him up to clean his enclosure and he also had a horrible smell. I used a warm, damp paper towel to clean him and also some diluted chlorhexidine solution.
The smell got better but there is still a faint trace of it on him. The enclosure now smells fine because it is clean, but are there better ways to bathe a ball python and get the smell of feces off of them?
I read that any smell goes away after they shed. Open to advice and suggestions! Thank you!
