Re: [Question] Just got here and already shedding
Or they can keep it in the tank for a while. It's not a big deal. Mine stayed in her 10 gallon for like...6 months (ish) before being upped to the 20 long.
Keep an eye on craigslist for deals on better enclosures. I got mine for 75$ each and they were orriginally 200$ each. They needed a bit of cleaning, but it was totally worth it. =)

Re: [Question] Just got here and already shedding
I will definitely be watching Craigslist for some surprise deals ^-^ I'm just happy I managed to get his home stable so he can finally relax.

Re: [Question] Just got here and already shedding
I'm a little late to jump on this topic, but I have a bottle of shed-aid in my reptile basket. I bought it a few years ago when one of my boa's had a piece of stuck shed. I never even used it XD
I mean I opened it and took one whiff of it and thought "they want me to put my snake in THAT? What's the two main ingredients: ammonia and lighter fluid?" I mean it smelt like I was cleaning my floors with this heavy-duty cleaner that will shrivel up and kill any living thing on contact.
Correction: just looked at the ingredients, and neither of those were listed. It did have some pretty questionable ingredients though.

Re: [Question] Just got here and already shedding
Lol love this. That is why I only use water. If any extra 'umph' is needed, a drop of classic dawn which is VERY animal safe.
I have used vinegar to clean snake enclosures, but it makes me gag (and yes, it's diluted!) So I just use hot water and dawn and rinse with another wet rag.

You could try and assist, they will eventually get in off them selves, i wont lie and tell you not to do it as i have thrown my retics in the tub to soak and then pulled it off when they have had on occasional bad shed.

Re: [Question] Just got here and already shedding
I just made some changes to his tank so I'm going to give him another day since his temperature and humidity should be more stable and if he still hasn't worked it off then I will help him
