My daughter places a large water dish in the tank just before a molt. It loves to sit in it just before. You can spray it down with warm water !! We spent about 2 hours last nite killing a bad case of mites.

so your saying don't go in there and try to take the skin off for her. I do have a large water bowl in there but all they do is drink water and they never go in there. :? I wonder why. So just spray her and hope it comes off?

You can place the snake in a sterilite with some wet paper towels for a few hours and the shed will come right off the vast majority of the time. Worst case you can moisten it and gently rub it off by hand.
