should i help or wait ?

when i woke up this morning, my baby ball had shed half of her body, when i came home after my work, she still have half of her body doesn't shed, the first of her body was shed in one piece,

i was going to take her out to give her the asist shed, but she seems stress when i touch her, and tight up as a ball, (is it because i didn't handle her for a week ? and she is scared of handling ?) because my new second ball python don't scared of my assist shed when he got a bad shed.

should i wait one more night or give her the asistance.

Here is a great thread on helping with a bad shed Bad shed No problem .

If you are having problems keeping up your humidity and you see that your snake is about to shed try using a humid hide until it sheds. Use a hide sized Tupperware container and cut a hole, either in the side or top, and place some damp sphagnum moss in it. Then place the humid hide on the warm side of your enclosure.

Just soak it in warm water. make sure the water is only about a third as deep as the snake is tall. let it slither around for a while and you can either do as I do and take it off by hand or let the snake slither through a towel normally this works. or you can throw them back into the tub/tank and let them figure it out.
