    Most snakes will eat while in shed. Have you been offering food for the last 3 weeks?

    Sounds like your snake has some stuck shed. If the humidity is correct, they should shed in one piece. So if there is any stuck on, you will have to soak the snake in shallow room temp water and peel it off.

    What are you using to measure humidity? She should have shed fine with 70%. You don't really need all that tropical mist and shed aid stuff..plain water will do just fine.

    Be careful when removing the shed, especially around the eyes. Ive seen people damage their snakes vision trying to remove eye caps.

    Do you have a picture of your setup?
