Stuck Shed - When to Push Intervention

[skiajl6297]

My BP had her first shed with me last weekend. It was a partial shed due to humidity being a tad too low, which has since been corrected. I was hovering in upper 50's and lower 60's throughout shed. (Next time I will aim for 70 throughout shed time). She shed the back half of her body in one piece, shed her face and eyecaps in one piece, and then had patchy partial shed from the back of her head to where the one piece was.

After a day she had gotten a decent amount more of the stuck shed off on her own without any intervention, but then I gave her a quick 20 minute bath the next night. Water was in mid to upper 80's, no deeper than her body, with a washcloth to rest on. She was pretty calm throughout. Afterwards, I gently held and let her push through the coarse weave of an old bath towel. It removed much of the remaining skin, but not all. She didn't love it clearly, but it was pretty short.

She now has a patch that has survived her shed, her rubbing, and my attempt to soak and assist. I can't tell if it is just on the top of her neck or fully wrapping around it. Is it worth the stress to try another soak and rub?

How does one tell if the stuck shed is problematic or something just to leave for the next shed cycle? I am leaning towards just leaving it be, but don't want to make any mistakes. She has eaten now twice since the shed without issue, although she did torque her body and appear to struggle slightly while passing the mouse through the area on her throat where the stuck shed is. (I don't know if I am imagining this or not to be honest as I happened to have a perfect view of her swallowing this time.)

Just looking for some advice on how best to deal with the remaining stuck shed, and when to worry vs just letting her take care of it on her own. Thanks all!

If you could tell that it was only on top of her neck, it wouldn't be an issue to leave it be. Since it may be wrapping around her neck, it really needs to be removed. It's likely not an issue at this moment BUT she will grow between now and her next shed and it will get tighter and tighter as she grows.

Leave it. If your humidity problems are fixed it will come off next time around.

Why not try upping the humidity over the next few days or so by extra misting / water spraying a few times a day . It may well be rubbed off it self during this time ..
