When mine dont come through with a full shed i either give them a little soak or use that Ezi Shed spray- that seems to work well.

All of ours except our large diamond love the water! One of our macs and one of our jungles even love swimming in their water bowls!!
Even though our diamond doesn't like it when he has to have a bath (which isn't all too often) he gets over it anyway!
It's not such a big deal and the reason they probably don't like it is that they have been put in there and not of their own desire too!
Also make sure the waters not to hot! I usually make it luke warm so it's not such a shock to them.
Cheers,
Mell
p.s. this is Sassi our maccy having a bath!!!!
she stayed like that for 20mins

But Loki is just nearly the coolest snake ever (next to my babies) so enough bragging from you thanks!

Do people really see bathing as necesary (other than when their is a retained shed or other situation). Sandy (Bredli) has only been bathed once and that was to get some dried urate off which she must have moved through after going to the bathroom lol.

I soak my snake in the lead-up sheds, and assist her if necessary. She hates baths, but doesn't bite me as revenge.

Just be cautious as to how "warm" that water is. Good luck with it |

Yes. Make your snake's bath water no warmer than tepid.
