Tiny stuck shed

Hey guys. So my female bumblebee finally shed, ALMOST, without a hitch. She has one tiny piece of she left on her. Obviously, I'm not gonna just yank it off. Should I just bump her humidity a bit and let her do the rest or should I give her a soak?

Side note, she seems so much less stressed and is back to acting like herself. Store had no rats so food day has been pushed to monday when they restock):

So, this is the second time that instantly after asking a question, it answered itself. I put her back in her tub and it instantly came off on its own haha. Shed complete!

I was about to say that I bet that problem solves itself quick. ;)

Indeed it did. Also she solved another problem quick. She decided to leave me a nice surprise. She pooped, and peed.... A LOT.

The nastiest cage I've ever cleaned so far. I weighed her however and she has gained 70 grams since I got her a month ago and she skipped the first 2 weeks of eating so this is good. She is now at 710. Also I weighed my male and he is now at 986 and he skipped the first 3 weeks. A 40 gram gain.

Yup! Sounds like good gains all around! Skipping a meal or two or ten is par for the course with ball pythons!

Yeah, I don't blame them. I'm sure that car ride home was stessful and they're in a totally new environment. I'm gonna move them to a rack ASAP and I wont be surprised if the transition stresses them out and they skip a meal or two again on me.

Final update. Everyone ate today including my Bumblebee.

Nice to hear! :)
For future reference, a very easy way to get rid of small patches of stuck shed (like the tail tip for example) is to take a small clean towel or a cotton pad or similar, make it wet with warm water, and then just dab on the shed part until it comes off without resistance :)

I'll for sure kee that in mind.

It's always so rewarding when everyone eats! My female ate today, my male turned his nose up for the fifth time in a row...sigh.
