Depending on the size of snake this is you can just get its body wet and then peel off the dry wet skin. Or (what i useually do)is up the humidity in the cage (spray it 2-3 times a day) and feed regularly wait until the next shed it the skin should come tight off with the new shed. YOUR WELCOME---H.DOG

ya when you put the snake in the pillow case she will try and push herself out... and sometimes that will pull it off.. i normally just grab her behind the head gently and start picking it off

I sometimes end up peeling a snake. Depending on size the damp piilowcase works. If you do by hand be carefull of eyecaps. Do underside of mouth first then go stright down center of head to nose then around over eyes, works for me.
