Stalling out in the middle of a shed cycle?

I have a young superfly female that it seems has just hit the abort button 3/4 of the way thru her shed cycle. I didn't see her pink belly but saw everything else gazed eyes, hazed body, then she started to shed I saw her once at the beginning she had her nose peeled back to just before her eyes, following morning (7 hrs later) she had only worked it back to about an inch past the back of her head, the shed skin at this point looked good (moist and intact in one piece). Got home from work that night and no progress however she appeared to be rather dry and "krinkley" so to speak dry wringles on her curves. Husbandry was fine 62% - 88° .... So anyways I throw some fresh damp sphag in her hide .... Now two days later the progress she had has fallen off and it's like she has just quit in the middle of her shed .... She no longer appears dry however I KNOW she didn't complete the shed as I use paper towels as her sub. ..... She's young ... This is probably her third shed .. (first one for me).

Anyone else had this? It's a first for me all my other snakes have always been done within a few hours after the get their nose started

I'd soak her for 30 minutes in an escape proof container and then get a wet , rough textured towel and feed the snake through it for a while , everytime her head pops out cover it up with another part of the towel and repeat . I use a dark blue one and you can see the shed skin easily on it .

What was her humidity at the time she started shedding? Do you think it may be a kinda weird stuck shed? Like she started it but somehow the shed stuck. The thing that makes me say that is how you said she look wrinkly and dry. Once I had to wait until my snakes second to get a pieces that stuck under his chin even though his humidity was high that piece under his chin glued itself on somehow. This may be the same with you. If so follow this sticky and everything will be fine :)
