Hi I'm just wondering how I should help my Samson he's shed his head and most of the top half but his belly still has old skin on and all of his tail has got skin on I've been trying to raise the humidity by spraying the faunarium. It's getting heated up by a heat matt so what I was wondering could I still use a damp cloth on the warm side ? Also should I bath him ?

Put a damp flannel on the hide in the warm end, move the water dish to the warm end and spray his faun a couple of times a day. Do this for a couple of days then give him a bath and let him slither through a rough old towel. Works for me every time if ever my snakes have had an iffy shed.
