Question How do you treat a bad BSB shed?

For all my other snakes I use the damp towl in a rubbermaid trick. But for a Kenyan I'm hesitant to soak them or wrape them in a damp towl because of the whole "gotta keep em dry thing". So what do you floks do about a bad kenyan shed?
Thanks,
Trevor

It won't hurt him to do the towel thing. It is only for a short period of time. I've used it before with no ill effects. I know of some people who even routinely use moist hides in their cages.

We gave one of ours a good 10 minute soak AND the damp towel thing when he had a bad shed. He got every last bit of skin off that way. If it's for a short time, no harm done.
