ive had my royal now about 4 months and he's always shed no problem. but this time his skin seems 2 b stuck around his head and has been now 4 about 3 days.it seems stuck around his eyes and i dont think he can c properly. not sure i should give him a bath, how hot and anything in the water or should i put a moss hide in? if so, how do i go about that?

Clean marge tub with a hole cut in the lid and some damp (wet and then squeeze out any water) Sphagnum moss in.

Or bath in water as deep as the snake in water roughly the temperature of the hot end of the viv for 15 to 20 mins and then allow to run through a damp towel/flannel.

Yep, just take it out once he's shed.

If you dont have moss you can use damp paper towels by the way.
