Be carefull when using the wet pillow case for shedding. If the bag is too wet you actually bloke the air holes between the material and snakes have died from suffercation. If I do use the pillow cases, I always ring out most of the water so the bag is only damp. This works well.

Thanks Bugguy! Yes, I thought of that, so made sure the pillowcase wasn't over-wet. Also opened it from time to time to make sure he was ok.

Managed to peel off 99% of the skin after this, but there is still old skin on the head. I'm assuming this will come off in the next shed???

Again, thanks for everyone's advice on this! Greatly appreciated.
