What are the best objects ot have in a viv for a young snake when shedding?

I have a water bowls and hide, from exo terra will that be ok or do i need something else?

 

[gaz2374]

some sphagnem mass in the hide or in a box for it to help shedding.

i normally have a rock in my viv but they don't use it the inside of there hide is rough so they use that i guess as long as theres some thing rough to rub against thats about it

 

[Slapshot]

it helps for them to have smething moist as well as something rough then?

 

[gaz2374]

yeah mate it loosens up the dry skin so they can get it off easier.

 

[Slapshot]

Better got some of that moss then,

 

[gaz2374]

only cheap and expands quite abit

all you need to do is make sure the humidity is about 70-75% and it should have a perfect shed! i

if it is a trouble shedder then i would add a humid hide and a rock but they don't actually need them.

I use a humid hide when mine are going into shed (particularly the BP) and spray viv with water couple of times a day to boost humidity.

Yeah a little humidy hide, water bowl for them to soak and something rough like a stone will be all you need.....

my vivs have water bowls big enough to soak in and some rough bark and branches, i also mist them with warm water in a spray bottle when they are in shed, doing this i have never had a problem shed.

i think my amel used the side of the water bowl to shed hers.

It depends what snakes... my royals have moss but my kings dont have anything... they shed unaided... always have.
