If the shed problem continues, get a small plastic box you can lock the snake in. Make sure there are air holes. Mix some mineral oil in with warm water, I would say about 10% oil and 90% water. Leave enough room from the lip to the water for the snake’s head. Let the snake stay submerged in the water/oil for about 2 hours. This should bring off any remaining shed skin. We developed this method for our venomous that have trouble shedding; it’s a lot more difficult to peel it off of a pit viper. Do not expect great growth, these things are not burms and will not grow like them. However, if you continue to power feed and you see no weight gain, I would strongly suspect parasites.
