Ksb is having trouble shedding...

Well like the title says... He is getting it stuck around his head and tail what should I do? It has been like this his last couple sheds I just soak him but I want to help him go through it more comfortably.

If you put him in a dampened pillowcase set underneath your heat source, it will help him shed if you would prefer to not soak him. You do not need to use a lot of water soaking in the first place though.

my ksb had bad really sheds when it first came to me.

i think they are susceptible to respiratory infections more so than others in case of high humidity (correct me if i'm wrong), so i would avoid soaking.

after i started spraying down about 5 seconds a day during sheds, it was all good.

Don't soak them or spray the enclosure. What I do for my Sand Boa, is I put her in a bucket with a damp, wrung-out washcloth, then I cover the bucket. They instinctively try to dig under the washcloth, which roughs the stuck shed off.

I agree,don't soak , i usually just place a med size stone in the enclosure for them to rub on , just make sure it cant shift and crush them.
