yeah warm towel will help just make sure that any movement of the towel is from head to tail. not the other way round. don't have it to warm either but close to the temp of the warm end of the viv.

I've had good results removing retained shed with a damp towel, so another vote from me!

you could try 'preparing' your snake for its towelling by adding a damp hide for a few days first, if necessary removing the usual hide to make sure he uses the damp one
