Shedding/Soaking Question (Sorry Guys)

So, my BRB has been in shed for almost a 6 days now... He hasn't moved from the far corner from the heat (which I wouldn't think he would move), and I haven't handled him at all, and I didn't feed him because he was in shed... I put some moss next to him/almost on him to help and spray him everyday but I was wondering if I should still soak him... He barely moves/flinches (?) (even when he is sprayed), so I don't know if I should handle him even to soak him... What do you guys think?

Oh, he also hasn't soaked himself.

You only need to soak reptiles when they aren't provided proper husbandry.

I would handle him to make sure he moved around with ease or seems energetic. That's how I heard the lung popping and knew he had a resp. infection. Of course, the temps and humidity are a must too.

This

and three of my snakes are in shed right now. None of them are moving a whole lot. All three are in their cool ends.

Just make sure temps/humidity are good and let the snake do the rest.
